Psalm 121

The Lord Our Protector

A song of ascents.

¹I lift my eyes toward the mountains.

Where will my help come from? ^a

²My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth. ^b

³He will not allow your foot to slip;

your Protector will not slumber. ^c

⁴Indeed, the Protector of Israel

does not slumber or sleep. ^d

⁵The Lord protects you;

the Lord is a shelter right by your side. ^e,^f

⁶The sun will not strike you by day

or the moon by night. ^g

⁷The Lord will protect you from all harm;

he will protect your life. ^h

⁸The Lord will protect your coming and going

both now and forever. ⁱ
