Psalm 121 — I Lift My Eyes to the Hills
Psalms 121:1-8 · Berean Standard Bible
Psalm 121 lifts its eyes to the hills and finds that help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, who neither slumbers nor sleeps. It reassures anyone facing an uncertain road that God watches over your coming and going, keeps you from all harm, and shields your very life. A short, whole psalm of protection and God's constant presence wherever you go.
1I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
