Psalm 121*The Lord My Guardian1A song of ascents. I raise my eyes toward the mountains.* From whence shall come my help?a 2My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.b 3He will not allow your foot to slip;c or your guardian to sleep. 4Behold, the guardian of Israel never slumbers nor sleeps. 5*The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.d 6By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night.e 7The Lord will guard you from all evil; he will guard your soul.f 8The Lord will guard your coming and going both now and forever.g Book IntroductionFootnotesScripture texts, prefaces, introductions, footnotes and cross references used in this work are taken from the New American Bible, revised edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC All Rights Reserved.
