Our help does not come from the "high places" of our culture. What are those high places that I see? Personal wealth is the most prominent high place. The dollar amount that follows your name is fairly easy to quantify, but often proves to be a poor measurement as to the character of the person. The next in line I would call cultural wealth; that is measured by the number of people who know your name, buy your products, and imiatate your lifestyle. After that comes unique ability, knowledge, and attitude. In verse 7 the psalmist says God will keep us from all evil. That sounds amazing similar to the words at the end of the Lord's prayer; "deliver us from evil." (Matthew 6:13)
It took me less than 1 minutes to read this psalm.
