A song for going up to worship. 

1I look up toward the mountains. 

Where can I find help? 

2My help comes from the Lord, 

the maker of heaven and earth. 

3He will not let you fall. 

Your guardian will not fall asleep. 

4Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps. 

5The Lord is your guardian. 

The Lord is the shade over your right hand. 

6The sun will not beat down on you during the day, 

nor will the moon at night. 

7The Lord guards you from every evil. 

He guards your life. 

8The Lord guards you as you come and go, 

now and forever. 

Read in Logos
Psalm 121:3–4: He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
