PSALM 121 I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help . My help cometh from the Lord , which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved ; he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither sl umber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper : the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even- for evermore.
