📚 Historical Context

This psalm is one of the 'Songs of Ascents' (Psalms 120-134) that Jewish pilgrims would sing while traveling to Jerusalem for religious festivals. As they journeyed through dangerous mountain passes, they would remind themselves that their safety came from God alone, not from the hills or other earthly sources of perceived protection.
