Psalm 121

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1  I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2  My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

3  He will not let your foot 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.
6  The sun shall not strike 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.

Psalms 121

The Lord will protect his people

1 I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?

2 It will come from the Lord,
who created the heavens
and the earth.

3 The Lord is your protector,
and he won't go to sleep
or let you stumble.

4 The protector of Israel
doesn't doze
or ever get drowsy.

5 The Lord is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.

6 You won't be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moont at night.

7 The Lord will protect you
and keep you safe
from all dangers.

8 The Lord will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.
