Psalms 121
The speaker looks to the hills for help, but acknowledges that true assistance comes from the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. The Lord is a constant protector who neither sleeps nor slumbers, watching over Israel and keeping them from harm. He shields from the dangers of day and night, and preserves life, ensuring safety in all aspects of life, from departure to return, now and forever.
1I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?2My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.3He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.4Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.6The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.7The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.8The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
