Psalms 121:1 «A Song of degrees. » I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

A Song of degrees] On, of ascensions, in singing whereof there should be ascensions in our hearts. See Psalms 120:1 .

Ver. 1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills] Not to your mountains, Psalms 11:1, human helps and carnal combinations, Jeremiah 3:23, much less to those mountains, in quibus gentes idola collocant et colunt, wherein the heathens set and serve their idols, Deuteronomy 12:2, but to Zion and Moriah, where God's sanctuary is, Psalms 87:1, or rather to heaven, Psalms 18:9, with 2 Samuel 22:10; 2 Samuel 22:14, where God himself is; and so it followeth.
