SONG OF SOLOMON

Psalm 121 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—       where does my help come

from? 2 My help comes from the LORD,        the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot

slip—        he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he

who watches over Israel        will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over

you—        the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will

not harm you by day,        nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all

harm—        he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over

your coming and going        both now and forevermore.
