Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord,.... Which is said not to distinguish true saints from hypocrites, in Israel or in Aaron's house; rather to describe such who belonged to neither: but, as Aben Ezra interprets it, who feared the Lord, of every people and nation; or proselytes, as Jarchi explains it: the distinction between the people of the Jews, and the proselytes among them, under the character of those that feared the Lord, may be observed in Acts 13:26. It takes in all true worshippers of the Lord; and who are exhorted to trust in him, for faith and fear are consistent; and where there is the one, there is the other; where there is the true fear of God, not a slavish nor an hypocritical fear, but a holy reverence and a godly fear, there will be faith and confidence in him. Job was a man that feared the Lord, and yet trusted in him; these characters meet in the same persons, see
Psalms 31:19.
He is their help and their shield; the help and shield of all those that fear the Lord, their protector and defender, and therefore should trust in him. The word "ezer", translated help, in this and the two preceding verses, is applied to God, and often in this book of Psalms, as a title and epithet belonging to him; and it may be observed that "Aesar", in the Etruscan language, signifies God z.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ye that fear the Lord ... - All the people that reverence God; all his true worshippers.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 115:11. Ye that fear the Lord — All real penitents, and sincere believers, trust in the Lord, in the almighty, omniscient, and infinitely good Jehovah.
He is their help and shield — He is the succour, support, guardian, and defence of all who put their confidence in him.
