Psalm 121
International Standard Version

A Song of Ascents

The Guardian of God’s People

121 I lift up my eyes toward the mountains—
    from where will my help come?
2 My help is from the Lord,
    maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will never let[a] your foot slip,
    nor[b] will[c] your guardian become drowsy.
4 Look! The one who is guarding Israel
    never sleeps and does not take naps.

5 The Lord is your guardian;
    the Lord is your shade at your right side.
6 The sun will not ravage you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will guard you from all evil,
    preserving[d] your life.
8 The Lord will guard your goings and comings,[e]
    from this time on and forever.
