Are you toe-ing the edge and about to fall?

Psalm 118:13

"I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my song"

I don't like being pushed back. Either a slow shove or a violent push - that place where you are pretty sure you're about to fall backwards and can't avoid it. Both physically and spiritually, that place stinks.

The NASB puts it this way:

"You [my adversary] pushed me violently so that I was falling,But the LORD helped me."

Man. A violent push from the enemy of my soul.

But the LORD has been my help. (Strong's #05826) Also, my Ally. He has supported me (very important when you are about to fall) and succoured me (succour = relief; aid; assistance).

It's a verb y'know, not just a name he's called by.

He's in the business of doing not just being a very present and well-proved help in trouble...
