Psa 121:1-2 | MHM | STEP | God Our Keeper This psalm teaches us to trust God as our powerful and all-sufficient helper. David shows that we should not put our trust in people or things, no matter how strong they seem. He asks, Shall I lift up my eyes to the hills? and realizes that true help does not come from mountains or important people, but from God alone (Jeremiah 3:23 ). We must look past earthly things and focus on God, who is the real source of our help. David may have also meant the hills where the temple stood, showing his desire for God’s special presence. Our help comes from the Lord , who made heaven and earth, and who is powerful enough to help us in every situation. v. 1–2 : David says, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord , which made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2 ). He knows that only God, the Creator, can truly help him. If God helps, no one can stop it. If God does not help, nothing else will work.

God Our Keeper

This psalm teaches us to trust God as our powerful and all-sufficient helper. David shows that we should not put our trust in people or things, no matter how strong they seem. He asks, Shall I lift up my eyes to the hills? and realizes that true help does not come from mountains or important people, but from God alone (Jeremiah 3:23 ^a). We must look past earthly things and focus on God, who is the real source of our help. David may have also meant the hills where the temple stood, showing his desire for God’s special presence. Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth, and who is powerful enough to help us in every situation.

v. 1–2: David says, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2 ^b). He knows that only God, the Creator, can truly help him. If God helps, no one can stop it. If God does not help, nothing else will work.
