Psalm 121

1  I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]--From whence shall my help come? 2  My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.3  He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber. 4  Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5  The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield]. 6  The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. 7  The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life.8  The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

Psalm 121

A Pilgrim Song

1-2 I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
3-4 He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep. Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep.
5-6 God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you— Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.
7-8 God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life. He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now, he guards you always.
