Psalm 121

God keeps his people safe

¹As I travel, I look up towards the hills.

I will find no help there.

²My help comes from the Lord .

He made heaven and the earth.

³He will take care of you,

so that you do not fall.

The one who protects you will not sleep.

⁴Yes! The Lord keeps Israel's people safe.

He never gets tired or sleeps at all!

⁵The Lord is the one who keeps you safe.

He is always with you,

to give you shade from the hot sun.

⁶The hot sun will not hurt you in the daytime.

At night, the moon cannot hurt you.

⁷The Lord is the one who takes care of you in all danger.

He keeps your life safe.

⁸Whatever you do and wherever you go,

the Lord will always keep you safe,

now and for ever.
