Psalm 121

Revised Standard Version

Assurance of God’s Protection

A Song of Ascents.

121 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From whence does my help come?
²My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

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

⁵The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade
    on your right hand.
⁶The sun shall not smite you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

⁷The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
⁸The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and for evermore.
