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 theLord,
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 TheLordwatches over(D)you—
theLordis your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun(E)will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

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