Psalm 121

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Verse 4 is our God. Omnipotent and powerful, God does not rest when it comes to His children. As the great pursuer of our souls, our Lord is always with us. He neither sleeps nor rests, but watches over us day and night. With this said and sung, help me to cast my fears, worries, and troubles onto You as well as my joy, laughter, and happiness. Teach me to never turn my cheek the other way because I know you will never do so to me.

Amen.
