Psalm 121 – Derek: Meditating on the Way
We lift our eyes to the hills from whence our help comes! This familiar line is followed by a commentary on the Aaronic Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27), particularly the word “keep” (used six times in six verses). The Lord God of Israel preserves, guards, and protects the people of God as they journey to the hills to worship God. This trust Psalm expresses our confidence that God will not fall asleep on the job (like pagan deities) and will protect us from harm from the pagan deities (sun and moon). God will give Israel her “travel mercies” on their coming and going.
