The poem, inspired by Psalm 121:1-2, depicts a person looking to the hills for help but finding true aid from the divine Alpha and Omega, not earthly sources. Through vivid imagery, it contrasts the silent, powerless hills with the eternal, omnipotent reign of God, who provides strength, guidance, and hope. The gender-neutral perspective emphasizes universal reliance on divine glory, culminating in the assurance that the King of kings fulfills humanity’s deepest aspirations.

Psalm 121:1-2 (KJV): “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

They lift their eyes to hills afar,
Where earth and sky in silence spar.
From rugged peaks, no strength is sent,
Yet hope ascends, their heart unbent.

Through shadows deep, they gaze and seek,
Where fears and doubts in secret creep.
The hills stand firm, yet cannot save,
Their silent crests no power gave.

But lo, their help comes not from stone,
Nor earthly might, nor flesh and bone.
The Alpha and Omega reigns,
The First, the Last, o’er stars and plains.

The voice divine bids dawn arise,
Their path is lit by holy skies.
Their refuge sure, their shield sublime,
In God’s vast reign, their souls align.

The hills may stand, but Heaven’s gaze,
Delivers strength through endless days.
Our help, our hope, from glory streams,
The King of kings fulfills our dreams.
