Jesus and the apostles loved the book of Psalms—they quoted from it and lived out of it. These ancient prayers and praises of Israel provide a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament; the themes introduced in the psalms find further development in the New Testament.

1Alzaré mis ojos a los montes; ¿De dónde vendrá mi socorro?
2Mi socorro viene de Jehová, Que hizo los cielos y la tierra.
3No dará tu pie al resbaladero, Ni se dormirá el que te guarda.
4He aquí, no se adormecerá ni dormirá El que guarda a Israel.
5Jehová es tu guardador; Jehová es tu sombra a tu mano derecha.
6El sol no te fatigará de día, Ni la luna de noche.
7Jehová te guardará de todo mal; Él guardará tu alma.
8Jehová guardará tu salida y tu entrada Desde ahora y para siempre.

Ps 121 The leader of the group of pilgrims uses word pictures to assure the group of the Lord’s presence during the journey.
121:1 The mountains were known for their idolatrous worship (Deut 12:2), and Israel was enticed to the hilltop shrines (Hos 4:13). This verse can be understood as a rhetorical question expecting a negative answer: The gods of the hilltop shrines cannot rescue anyone. Others understand the mountains to be a symbol of the Lord’s strength (Ps 95:4). In that case, the question would be interpreted literally (Where does my help come from?), with the answer given in the next verse

121:4-6 The Creator (121:2) is the guardian of Israel. • God stands beside Israel, supporting and caring for the godly (see 16:7-8). • Both the sun and the moon were regarded as deities in the ancient Near East, but the Creator limits their power. They, too, praise the Lord (148:3).
121:4 God watches over his own, even and especially when they face many troubles (12:5, 7; 69:29; 91:14; 146:9).
