Ps 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
The hills may have seemed as a potential place to hide. It is humanly wise to look to the strong for strength. It is common practice for those in the valley to look up to those who are in the hills for security, direction and provision of resources.
This psalm teaches us not to depend upon the arm of flesh . It teaches us not to depend upon the powers of the earth, upon the strength of the hills, upon princes and great men, who, like hills, fill the earth, and hold up their heads towards heaven.
“We must see all our help laid up in God, in his power and goodness, his providence and grace; and from him we must expect it to come: “My help comes from the Lord; the help I desire is what he sends, and from him I expect it in his own way and time. If he do not help, no creature can help; if he do, no creature can hinder, can hurt.’’ (Matthew Henry Commentary)
Yahweh the creator is the faithful source of help and blessings.
