Psalm 121

My Help Comes from the LORD

(A Song of Ascents.)

1	I lift~ up my eyes to the hills.
		From where~ [From where] does my help come?
2	My help~ comes from the LORD,
		who made~ heav~en and earth.

3	He will not let your foot be~ moved;
		he who keeps you will~ not~ slumber.
4	Behold~, he who keeps Israel
		will neither slum~ber nor sleep.

5	The LORD~ [The LORD] is your keeper;
		the LORD~ is your shade on your right hand.
6	The sun shall not strike you by day,
		nor~ the moon~ by night.

7	The LORD~ will keep you from all evil;
		he will keep your life.
8	The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in
		from this time forth and forevermore.
