Psalm 121

Trust in God’s Protection

121A song for the ascents.^a

¹I lift up my eyes to the mountains;

whence will my help come?

²My help is from Yahweh,

maker of heaven and earth.

³He will not allow your foot to be moved;

he who protects you will not slumber.

⁴Look, he will not slumber and he will not sleep—

he who protects Israel.

⁵Yahweh is your protector;

Yahweh is your shade at your right hand.

⁶The sun will not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night.

⁷Yahweh will protect you from all evil;^b

he will protect your life.

⁸Yahweh will protect your going out and your coming in

from now until forever.
