1I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?
2My helpcomethfrom Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.
7Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.
8Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.
What is Psalms 121 about?
As the traveler lifts his eyes to the hills on the road to Zion, this second Song of Ascents answers where his help is found. That help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, who will not suffer his foot to be moved and who neither slumbers nor sleeps. The LORD is his keeper and shade, guarding him from the sun by day and the moon by night, preserving his going out and his coming in from this time forth and for evermore. The pilgrim travels under the constant watch of the One who keeps all His people.
Matthew Henry on Psalms 121
