Psalm 121
English Standard Version

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?
2 (D)My help comes from the Lord,
    who (E)made heaven and earth.

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

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

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