“I lift my eyes to the hills—
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of 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.”
Psalm 121:1-8
What a beautiful song of praise this is for all that believe and trust in God. It is said that the ancient Israelites sang this as they journeyed to Jerusalem to worship. Christians today can join in the praise and worship in these verses as we claim God’s sweet promises of protection, help and shelter all through life.
