Psalm 121

The Lord My Guardian

A song of ascents.

I raise my eyes toward the mountains.
    From whence shall come my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the maker of heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to slip;
    or your guardian to sleep.
Behold, the guardian of Israel
    never slumbers nor sleeps.
The Lord is your guardian;
    the Lord is your shade
    at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
    nor the moon by night.
The Lord will guard you from all evil;
    he will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your coming and going
    both now and forever.
