A Song of Ascents.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
This is one of my favourite Psalms.
I’m not a religious person, I have to admit, but I do love this psalm. Strangely, when my husband and I had a special day out this week, I insisted that we went to a little chapel on the English/Welsh border, at Capel-y-Ffin. If you go to my blogsite, and scroll back to Tuesday-ish, you will find some photos including one of the first line of this psalm etched on the window of the chapel. Jennie
