Psalm 121

The LORD Our Protector

A song of ascents.

1   I lift my eyes toward the mountains.

Where will my help come from? v

2   My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth. w

3   He will not allow your foot to slip;

your Protector will not slumber. x

4   Indeed, the Protector of Israel

does not slumber or sleep. y

5   The LORD protects you;

the LORD is a shelter right by your side. Z,z

6   The sun will not strike you by day

or the moon by night. a

7   The LORD will protect you from all harm;

he will protect your life. b

8   The LORD will protect your coming and going

both now and forever. c
