𐤏𐤆𐤓
ʻâzar
To help, assist, or give aid, often in the sense of providing needed support or strengthening another (individual, group, or nation) who is in difficulty or under threat. The word may denote both immediate, practical assistance and broader, more ongoing support (social, military, or divine). The sense of 'protect' or 'succour' is contextually derived from active intervention to benefit or defend the party in need.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
helper
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Helper' better fits the context than 'helping one' and is the standard participial rendering in English when asking God to become one's helper; the SILEX definition permits 'helper.' |
