I Lift Up My Eyes to the Hills
A song of ascents.
1I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
- PS 121:1[NOTABLE]Look past the mountains to the One who made them.
2My help comes from Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
4Behold, the Protector of Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
- PS 121:4[NOTE]NEVER SLEEPS. The prophet Elijah mocked Baal: maybe he is asleep, 1 Kings 18:27. Israel's Keeper never sleeps.
5Yahweh is your keeper;
Yahweh is the shade on your right hand.
6The sun will not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7Yahweh will guard you from all evil;
He will preserve your soul.
8Yahweh will watch over your coming and going,
both now and forevermore.
