Psalms 121

Psalm 121

The Lord Our Protector

A song of ascents.

¹I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?²

³My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.⁴

⁵He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.⁶

⁷Indeed, the Protector of Israel does not slumber or sleep.⁸

⁹The Lord protects you; the Lord is a shelter right by your side.¹⁰

¹¹The sun will not strike you by day or the moon by night.¹²

¹³The Lord will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life.¹⁴

¹⁵The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.¹⁶
