I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS ... |
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help"
Ps 121:1
Those words are seen in memorial parks and courtyards of churches.
They are heard in sermons and are generally accepted as a poetic
expression of faith.
If churchmen would only consider what the words suggest, they would
see they are giving lip-homage to a forbidden practice. For, only
idolaters look to the hills for help ...
"Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the
nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon
the high mountains, and UPON THE HILLS, and under
every green tree:
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their
pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew
down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the
names of them out of that place.
(In verse 4, we are shown that the people who worship The Creator must
not imitate idolaters.)
**Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.**"
Deut 12:2-4 (KJV)
In the course of time, the children of Israel forgot the words of
their Creator and perverted their way --they looked unto the hills
and mountains for help. So, Jeremiah
called them to repentance with these words:
"Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
and from the multitude of mountains:
truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel."
Jer 3:23 (KJV)
Now, from the light of other scriptures, we can see that the Psalmist
was asking questions with his words and the thought of looking to the
hills for help was rejected:
Question: "Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills?
Answer: [No! is implied]
Question: Whence should my help come?
Answer: My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2 KJV Marginal reading

Notes: Psalms 121:1-8
1. We must not rely upon creatures, upon men and means, instruments
and second causes, nor make flesh our arm: "Shall I lift up my eyes to
the hills?"-- so some read it.
"Does my help come thence? Shall I depend upon the powers of the
earth, upon the strength of the hills, upon princes and great men,
who, like hills, fill the earth, and
hold up their heads towards heaven? No; in vain is salvation hoped for
from hills and mountains, <Jer. 3:23>. I never expect help to come
from them; my confidence is in
God only." We must lift up our eyes above the hills (so some read it);
we must look beyond instruments to God, who makes them that to us
which they are.
2. We must see all our help laid up in God, in his power and goodness,
his providence and grace; and from him we must expect it to come: "My
help comes from the Lord; the
help I desire is what he sends, and from him I expect it in his own
way and time. If he do not help, no creature can help; if he do, no
creature can hinder, can hurt."
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
