PSALM 121: 1-8
God Is Our Keeper
I -will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and even forevermore.
