Psalm Ps. 121. This psalm seems to be intended to encourage confidence in those making the pilgrimage to Jerusalem (see note on Psalm 120 for the Songs of Ascents). The successful journey becomes a parable for the whole of one’s life (121:7), in which the faithful can be confident of God’s tireless care.
Ps. 121:1–2 The person on pilgrimage to Jerusalem will lift up his eyes to the hills (possibly as a terrain to be feared), and will wonder, From where does my help come? The reply is, his help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth, and therefore no other power can stop it.
Ps. 121:3–8 These verses are dominated by the word “keep” (to watch over): the Lord who keeps Israel (the corporate entity) also keeps you (the particular member). This means that he will not let your foot be moved (that is, slip as you walk, see 38:16; 66:9). This is the confidence the faithful can have.
