1 A song of the ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, Maker of heavens and earth.
3 May he not let thy foot be moved; may not thy keeper slumber.
4 Behold, Israel’s keeper shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah [is] thy keeper; Jehovah [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 By day the sun shall not smite thee, nor moon by night.
7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil, he will keep thy soul.
8 Jehovah will keep thy going out, and thy coming in, henceforth and for ever.
Notes on Psalm 121
“A song of the ascents.” Jehovah now at length is Israel’s help, and keeper, Who slumbers not nor sleeps, in all circumstances and for ever.
