Psalm 121

Berean Standard Bible

I Lift Up My Eyes to the Hills

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

² My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not allow your foot to slip;

your Protector will not slumber.

⁴ Behold, the Protector of Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD is your keeper;

the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

⁶ The sun will not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD will guard you from all evil;

He will preserve your soul.

⁸ The LORD will watch over your coming and going,

both now and forevermore.
