Psalm 121

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. 1I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? 2 My help comes from the LORD,who made heaven and earth!

3He will not let you stumble;the one who watches over you will not slumber. 4 Indeed, he who watches over Israelnever slumbers or sleeps.

5The LORD himself watches over you!The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. 6 The sun will not harm you by day,nor the moon at night.

7The LORD keeps you from all harmand watches over your life. 8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,both now and forever.
