[ Read](/kjv/psalms/121)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/121)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/121) Audio

 1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.*

 2 My help *cometh* from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

 5 The LORD *is* thy keeper: the LORD *is* thy shade upon thy right hand.

 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 121:0](/kjv/psalms/121/0). 

*The great safety of the godly, who put their trust in God's protection.* 

A Song of Degrees. 

*Title.*המעלות שׁיו *Shiir hammangaloth.*] This psalm is thought by some to have been written by David, while he was in the field with his army during Absalom's rebellion; but if the psalms of ascent were sung by those who went up to the temple, it is most probable that it begins as with a person just come to Jerusalem, and looking round him in great anxiety towards the mountains about it for divine help. In the second verse he fixes his eye upon the mountain where the temple stood, and expects help from thence: here he is supposed to offer his sacrifice, and pay his devotions to God. While this is doing, some person, in the third verse, wishes he may find the favour and protection of his God. From the fourth onward, the priest, probably seeing the usual sign of favour (*Behold*), promises him most assuredly the divine protection and blessing.
