Psalm 121 (NIV)

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The Lord watches over you—

the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm—

he will watch over your life;

⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.

1. The LORD is our source of help; therefore, we should look to him (vv. 1-2).

2. The LORD is our vigilant help who never fails to watch over us (vv. 3-4).

3. The Lord is our protector who ensures the safety of his people (vv. 5-6).

4. The Lord is faithful and eternal, and he will never stop caring for us (vv. 7-8).

Main Idea: In times of trouble and uncertainty, we may trust the LORD, who is our vigilant, faithful, protecting helper.
