Psalms 121:1-8

  • Jehovah guards his people

    • “My help comes from Jehovah” (2)

    • Jehovah never sleeps (3, 4)

A Song of the Ascents. 121  I raise my eyes to the mountains.+ From where will my help come?  2  My help comes from Jehovah,+The Maker of heaven and earth.  3  He will never allow your foot to slip.*+ The One guarding you will never be drowsy.  4  Look! He will never be drowsy nor go to sleep,The One guarding Israel.+  5  Jehovah is guarding you. Jehovah is the shade+ at your right hand.+  6  By day the sun will not strike you,+Nor the moon by night.+  7  Jehovah will guard you against all harm.+ He will guard your life.*+  8  Jehovah will guard you in all you do*From now on and forever.
