Psalm 121

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.

1I look to the hills1—but is that where my help comes from?

2My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
