Write the Psalm

Psalm 121

1-2 I look up to the mountains;

    does my strength come from mountains?

No, my strength comes from God,

    who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

3-4 He won’t let you stumble,

    your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.

Not on your life! Israel’s

    Guardian will never doze or sleep.

5-6 God’s your Guardian,

    right at your side to protect you—

Shielding you from sunstroke,

    sheltering you from moonstroke.

7-8 God guards you from every evil,

    he guards your very life.

He guards you when you leave and when you return,

    he guards you now, he guards you always.

—The Message

Write Psalm 121, knowing that writing Scripture by hand helps us to slow down and really engage with the verses. Use your favorite Bible translation or a different one (try Bible Gateway at biblegateway.com) that helps you better understand the passage. In your journal, also record any insights the Holy Spirit helps you to understand.
