Psalms 121 Summary

The LORD My Keeper and Preserver

The psalmist looks to the hills and declares that his help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth. The LORD keeps him watchful, never slumbering, protecting him as a shade on his right hand. The LORD preserves him from all evil and harm, both by day and night, guarding his soul and all his comings and goings forevermore.
