Psalm 121:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 121:2

My help [cometh] from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
] Who helps his people out of the hands of all their enemies, and out of all their troubles and afflictions; he helps them in the performance of duty, in the exercise of grace, in bearing the cross, in fighting the Lord's battles, and on in their journey; he helps them to all blessings, temporal and spiritual; to all needful supplies of grace here, and glory hereafter; and this help he gives is quick and present, suitable and seasonable, is sufficient, and sometimes with, and sometimes without means; and they have great encouragement to expect it from him, since he is able to give it, being the Maker of heaven and earth; for what is it that he cannot do, who has made both them? And besides, he has promised to help them, and he is faithful that has promised; he has laid help on Christ for them, and set up a throne of grace, where they may hope to find grace and mercy, to help them in time of need; and they have had past experiences of his help and salvation. Arama connects this with the preceding psalm, and interprets this help of help from an evil tongue.

Psalm 121:2 In-Context

1 Ein Stufenlied. Ich hebe meine Augen auf zu den Bergen, woher meine Hilfe kommen wird.

2 Meine Hilfe kommt von Jehova, der Himmel und Erde gemacht hat.

3 Er wird nicht zulassen, daß dein Fuß wanke; dein Hüter schlummert nicht.

4 Siehe, der Hüter Israels, nicht schlummert noch schläft er.

5 Jehova ist dein Hüter, Jehova ist dein Schatten über deiner rechten Hand.
