Psalm 121

New International Version

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

¹I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
²My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven^(A) and earth.^(B)

³He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴indeed, he who watches^(C) over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The Lord watches over^(D) you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
⁶the sun^(E) will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

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

Matthew 11:25-30

New International Version

The Father Revealed in the Son^(A)

²⁵At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,^(B) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.^(C) ²⁶Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

²⁷“All things have been committed to me^(D) by my Father.^(E) No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.^(F)

²⁸“Come to me,^(G) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.^(H) ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^(I) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^(J) ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”^(K)
