Good question,
In the ancient Near East, the hills were often seen as places of safety and refuge because they offered higher ground and a clear view of the surrounding area, which made it easier to spot approaching danger. Additionally, the hills were often less fertile and less inhabited than the valleys, so they were less likely to be targeted by attackers who were looking to conquer land and resources.
In a spiritual sense, the hills in the Bible symbolize a higher power or source of strength. In this context, "looking to the hills" is a way of expressing one's trust in God and seeking refuge in Him. It conveys the idea that, just as people in ancient times looked to the hills for protection, Christians can look to God for safety, guidance, and support.
So, when the psalmist says "I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?" they are making a statement about their faith in God and relying on Him for protection and support, even in times of danger or uncertainty.
Look to the Hills, Find Strength in God - Stand Tall and Fear Not!
