Psalm 121

A Pilgrim Song

^1–2121I look up to the mountains;

does my strength come from mountains?

No, my strength comes from God,

who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

^3–4He won’t let you stumble,

your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.

Not on your life! Israel’s

Guardian will never doze or sleep.

^5–6God’s your Guardian,

right at your side to protect you—

Shielding you from sunstroke,

sheltering you from moonstroke.

^7–8God guards you from every evil,

he guards your very life.

He guards you when you leave and when you return,

he guards you now, he guards you always.
