Gill's Notes on the Bible

My help [cometh] from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Who helps his people out of the hands of all their enemies, and out of all their troubles and afflictions; he helps them in the performance of duty, in the exercise of grace, in bearing the cross, in fighting the Lord's battles, and on in their journey; he helps them to all blessings, temporal and spiritual; to all needful supplies of grace here, and glory hereafter; and this help he gives is quick and present, suitable and seasonable, is sufficient, and sometimes with, and sometimes without means; and they have great encouragement to expect it from him, since he is able to give it, being the Maker of heaven and earth; for what is it that he cannot do, who has made both them? And besides, he has promised to help them, and he is faithful that has promised; he has laid help on Christ for them, and set up a throne of grace, where they may hope to find grace and mercy, to help them in time of need; and they have had past experiences of his help and salvation. Arama connects this with the preceding psalm, and interprets this help of help from an evil tongue.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My help cometh from the Lord - From Yahweh. This is the answer to the anxious inquiry in Psalms 121:1. It indicates

(a) a consciousness that help could come only from God;

(b) a belief that it would come from him; and a confident yet humble reliance on him.

Which made heaven and earth - The great Creator of the universe. He must, therefore, be able to protect me. The Creator of all can defend all.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 121:2. My help cometh from the Lord — There is no help for me but in my God; and I expect it from no other quarter.
