What does Psalm 121:2 mean?
This verse answers the question of verse 1: "My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." The traveler's help does not come from the hills, from the false gods worshiped on them, or from his own strength. It comes from the Creator of everything, including the hills themselves. If God made heaven and earth, then no danger is too big for him. The rest of the psalm unfolds this promise: the LORD who keeps Israel never slumbers or sleeps, and he will preserve our going out and coming in. Many people pray this verse before travel, surgery, or any uncertain journey.
