PSALM 121 THE ARGUMENT The matter of this Psalm sufficiently showeth that the psalmist was conflicting with great difficulties and oppositions, and looking. hither and thither for help, as men in such cases use to do, and then turning his eyes to God and his providence, and encouraging himself by God's promises made to his people. The psalmist showeth that the great safety of the godly is from the Lord, Psalms 121:1-5, who keepeth them in their outgoings and incomings from all evil, Psalms 121:6-8. Unto the hills; either to Zion and Moriah, which are called the holy mountains, Psalms 87:1; or rather,
2. To the hills in general, whereof there were many in the land of Canaan, and upon which the forces, which he hoped would come to his aid, might be seen at a great distance. Cometh; or, may come; Heb. will come.
