A Psalm Of Trust In God
Psalm 121:
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved.
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper.
He is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 He will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
8 He will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more.
