Psalm 121

New Century Version

The Lord Guards His People

A song for going up to worship.

121 I look up to the hills,
but where does my help come from?
²My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

³He will not let you be defeated.
    He who guards you never sleeps.
⁴He who guards Israel
    never rests or sleeps.
⁵The Lord guards you.
    The Lord is the shade that protects you from the sun.
⁶The sun cannot hurt you during the day,
    and the moon cannot hurt you at night.
⁷The Lord will protect you from all dangers;
    he will guard your life.
⁸The Lord will guard you as you come and go,
    both now and forever.
