Psalm 121
New International Version

### Psalm 121

#### A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven(A) and earth.(B)

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches(C) over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over(D) you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun(E) will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm(F)—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.(G)
