Psalm 121 A Song of Ascents 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—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.

Romans 8:37-39

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I

am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our

Lord

Jeremiah 29:11
