Psaume 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.

1 Cantique de Maaloth. J'élève mes yeux vers les montagnes d'où me viendra le secours.

2 Mon secours vient de l'Éternel, qui a fait les cieux et la terre.

3 Il ne permettra pas que ton pied chancelle; celui qui te garde ne sommeillera point.
