My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

121 I (B)lift up my eyes to (C)the hills.
    From where does my help come?
(D)My help comes from the Lord,
    who (E)made heaven and earth.

He will not (F)let your foot be moved;
    he who (G)keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your (H)shade on your (I)right hand.
(J)The sun shall not (K)strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will (L)keep you from all evil;
    he will (M)keep your life.
The Lord will keep
    your (N)going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

27 (A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when (B)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with (C)the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass that (D)as I have watched over them (E)to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, (F)so I will watch over them (G)to build and to plant, declares the Lord. 29 In those days they shall no longer say:

(H)“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
    and the children's teeth are set on edge.’

30 (I)But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

The New Covenant

31 (J)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make (K)a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when (L)I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, (M)though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 (N)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: (O)I will put my law within them, and I will write it (P)on their hearts. (Q)And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ (R)for they shall all know me, (S)from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For (T)I will forgive their iniquity, and (U)I will remember their sin no more.”
