Psalms 121

Psalms 121:1

LIft up] I doe bend my thoughts every way, yet conclude at last, that in all my evills, my reliefe and deliverance must come from God alone.

Psalms 121:3

He will not] the Psalmist speaks to himselfe in spirit, as Psal 91. 3.

Psalms 121:5

Thy shade] thy protector and defence.

Psalms 121:6

By day] hee hath a relation to the pillar of cloud by day, and of fire in the night, which God employed in the bringing of the people forth of Aegypt, and to defend them from the harmefull aire that it might not hurt them, see Isaiah 49:10. Revelation 7:16. And this may also be applied to the return from Babylon under Gods protection.

Psalms 121:8

Thy going out] that is to say any thing as thou shalt undertake; Or, especially thy comming out of Babylon, and thy comming into Iudea.
