I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from ? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker o f heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber, indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand, the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life, the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
