Help; or help

Psalms 60:11 KJV
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

I see a few ways to apply this passage but I want to go back to the meaning of the word help as salvation. There are two different Greek Words translated help in the verse; both are equally Scripture.
• God surrounds us
• Man attempts to deliver us

The basic implication is that of salvation

Truly the only salvation worth seeking is that which comes from God.
• Vain
• Empty
• Useless
is the salvation that comes from man.

And talk about trouble; surely this world is filled with things that bring trouble to the Christian, but none are equal the trouble of hell awaiting the sinner. Help Lord, for there is no other help for our salvation.
