Lift up my eyes to the hills

Psalm 121:1-8
I lift up my eyes to the hills -- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber
The Lord watches over you--   day and night
The Lord will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Why?
The protection of the Lord to us is everywhere and anytime.
Don't frustrate the bad situation now, lift up my eyes to the Lord, He is my helper. My help comes from the Lord who is the maker of heaven and earth.
Those who trust God know where to turn in trouble.
With God to guard them they can come to no harm.
Hills/mountains: They may signify danger, or the reference may be to the Temple hill (Mt Zion) and God's presence.
How?
Trust in God who is my helper, my hope is in Him. Always lift up my eyes to the Lord!
