This is one of my favourite psalms. As someone who tends to worry a lot, this song covers all of the possible things that might frighten me. :)

I also really enjoyed learning recently that it was one of a series of songs known as The Songs of Ascent. These, scholars believe, were the songs sung by the pilgrims on their journeys to Jerusalem for the three great feasts every year. That gave me a different perspective on the psalm.

Psalm 121

"[[A Song of degrees.]] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."

Blessings,
