1)

Who has no helper?

1.

Rashi: Yisrael.

2.

Radak: Refer to 59:16:2:3 and the notes there.

3.

Malbim: Hashem; the generation do not have merit to 'help'. Therefore, "Zero'i" will save.

2)

What is "v'Eshtomem"?

1.

Rashi: It is an expression of silence, like I explained above (refer to 59:16:2:1).

3)

Why does it add "v'Ein Somech"?

1.

Malbim: No one prays for them. Therefore, "va'Chamasi Hi Semachasni." This is the anger at the Nochrim's sin.

4)

How did His anger support Him?

1.

Rashi: My anger at the nations, that "Ani Katzafti Me'at v'Hemah Azru l'Ra'ah" (Zecharyah 1:15), this aroused My heart to exact payment from them, even though Yisrael were not worthy of and proper for Ge'ulah.

5)

Above, it says (59:16). Why does it say here "Zero'i va'Chamasi"?

1.

Radak: I explained above Zero'o regarding "va'Tosha Lo Zero'o v'Tzidkaso" (refer to 59:16:4:2). Chamasi is vengeance against the Goyim at the time of salvation - "v'Avus Amim b'Api" (6).
