Psalms 121:1 - Exposition

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills . The "holy hills," that stand round about Jerusalem, are intended ( Psalms 87:1 ; Psalms 125:2 ). There God had "promised his blessing, even life forevermore" ( Psalms 133:3 ). From whence cometh my help. Most modern critics regard this clause as interrogative, and translate, "Whence is it that my help shall come?" But "the question is only asked to give more effect to the answer" (Cheyne).
