psalm-121:7-8

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 121:1-8

The Guardian Care of the Lord. A song of degrees, full of believing fervor due to the consciousness of the fellowship of God with His children on earth. v. 1. I will lift up mine eyes, in anxious, yet trustful desire and longing, unto the hills, regarded as the throne of Jehovah, from whence cometh my help, or, in the form of a question, "From whence will come my help?" a most emphatic declaration of trust in the almighty power of God and in His willingness to help His children. v. 2. My... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 121:1-8

Where to Find Help Psalms 120:1-7 ; Psalms 121:1-8 This is the first of the “Songs of Degrees.” It has been suggested that they were pilgrim-songs to beguile the journeys from all parts of the country to the great annual feasts. They have been associated with the reign of the good Hezekiah. Mesech and Kedar are typical enemies, who forced their way into the kingdom of Judah and vexed the people of God. They are compared to sharp swords and arrows in Psalms 57:4 ; Psalms 64:3 , but now in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 121:1-8

This song, so full of beauty, marks another stage in the approach of the worshiper in that it sets forth his assurance of the present help of Jehovah. The singer is still far from the appointed place of worship, lifting his eyes toward the distant mountains. He is not far from Jehovah, however. In Jehovah's keeping, even though far from the center of external worship, the pilgrim realizes his safety. He lifts his longing eyes toward the mountains of Zion, where stands the house of his God, and... read more

Shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in; shall guard and assist thee in all thy expeditions, and affairs, and actions, either at home or abroad. So this phrase is used Numbers 27:17; Deuteronomy 28:6. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 121:1-8

INTRODUCTIONThis “Song of the Ascents”—a title slightly varying from that of each of the other Gradual Psalms—is as suitable as any for the Israelite’s use when not leaving his home for the earthly Jerusalem, but only meditating on the circumstances and prospects of his spiritual progress, especially when life is drawing to a close; but its beauties are more apparent if we regard it as bursting from the lips of the pilgrims as after their long, weary, and dangerous march, in spite of Mesech and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 121:1-8

Psalms 121:0 There is an affinity between souls and hills, especially for those who have become acquainted with their own solemn depths and sublime heights. In man's earthly estate wonderful heights are laid low. He has descended from the eternal hills. Being away from his home and half a stranger to himself, the broken conformations of the outward world, the deep, dark, mist-shrouded valleys, the bold, aspiring, light-seeking mountains, deeply affect him. Man in trouble instinctively looks to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 121:8

Psalms 121:8 I. It was help, and only help, which the speaker looked for from God. And help is not that which dispenses with exertion on our part, but rather that which supposes such exertion. Helping a man is not doing everything for him and leaving him nothing to do for himself, but rather the assisting him in his efforts, making those efforts effectual when perhaps without that aid they would be insufficient and frustrated. II. "Who made heaven and earth." This is turning creation to... read more
