Songs from the Heart Day 6

Pray the Psalm 

Psalm 121

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1 I look up to the mountains—

    does my help come from there?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

    who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble;

    the one who watches over you will not slumber.

4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel

    never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The Lord himself watches over you!

    The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

6 The sun will not harm you by day,

    nor the moon at night.

7 The Lord keeps you from all harm

    and watches over your life.

8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,

    both now and forever.
