Psalms 121 · Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
PSALM 121 Psa 121:1-8 . God's guardian care of His people celebrated. 1. I will lift up mine eyes-- expresses desire (compare Psa 25:1 ), mingled with expectation. The last clause, read as a question, is answered,
2. by avowing God to be the helper, of whose ability His creative power is a pledge ( Psa 115:15 ), to which,
3-4. His sleepless vigilance is added. to be moved-- (Compare Psa 38:16 ; 66:9 ).
5. upon thy right hand-- a protector's place ( Psa 109:31 ; 110:5 ).
6-8. God keeps His people at all times and in all perils. nor the moon by night-- poetically represents the dangers of the night, over which the moon presides ( Ge 1:16 ).
