Chapter Summary

A Song of Ascent affirming that the Lord is the keeper of Israel, neither slumbering nor sleeping. He is shade from the sun and protector from the moon. The Lord will keep you going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore — one of the most comforting promises in the Psalter.

1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2My help cometh from the Lord, which 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 shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
