Psalms 121
The speaker looks to the hills for help, but acknowledges that true assistance comes from the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. The Lord is a constant protector who neither sleeps nor slumbers, keeping the speaker safe from harm. The Lord's protection extends to all aspects of life, shielding the speaker from evil, preserving their soul, and watching over their comings and goings.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
