Psalms 121 WBT
Summary: A beloved Song of Ascents built on the image of a pilgrim looking toward the hills surrounding Jerusalem, opening "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" (v. 1), then answering that help comes not from the hills themselves but "from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (v. 2). It repeatedly stresses God's unceasing watchfulness — "he that keepeth thee will not slumber... he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (v. 3-4) — promising protection from sun by day and moon by night. It closes assuring that the LORD will preserve the traveler's "going out and thy coming in, from this time forth, and even for evermore" (v. 8).
1A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.
8The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
