My Help Comes from Yahweh

A Song of Ascents.

121 I will (A)lift up my eyes to (B)the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My (C)help comes from Yahweh,
Who (D)made heaven and earth.
[a]He will not (E)allow your foot to stumble;
[b]He who (F)keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will not slumber and will not sleep.

Yahweh is your (G)keeper;
Yahweh is your (H)shade on your right hand.
The (I)sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
Yahweh will (J)keep you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will (K)keep your going out and your coming in
(L)From now until forever.

A song for the ascents.

Help From the Lord, Israel’s Watchman

I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot stumble.
He who watches over you will not slumber.
Yes, he who watches over Israel will not slumber.
He will not sleep.
The Lord watches over you.
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will watch to keep you from all harm.[a]
He will watch over your life.[b]
The Lord will watch over your going and your coming
    from now to eternity.
