This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
There was none to help; not that he needed it, for help implies a defect of power, or wisdom, or wealth, or opportunity, &c.; but to see what men would do, in regard his people needed it; therefore the standing or not standing by his people is the same thing with standing or not standing by him, Jud_5:23 Mat_25:35,40,42,45.
None to uphold; a metaphor taken from a staff, that is a help to one that leans on it.
My fury, or zeal, viz. against the adversaries of the church. God’s arm notes his strength and power, and his zeal sets this power on work, Isa_9:7; but See Poole "Isa_59:16", See Poole "Isa_59:17".
