PSALM Chapter 121

We can find strength and encouragement in Psalms 121 by taking comfort from knowing that the Lord is our protector and is never sleeping but is always watching over us…now and forever.  May these words minister to your heart and provide you strength and encouragement knowing that the Lord is ALWAYS there for us.  Have included both the KJV and the NTL versions.

PSALM NLT* 121:1-8

I look up to the mountains – does my help come from there?

My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth!

He will not let you stumble and fall:  the one who watches over you will not sleep.

Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps.

The Lord himself watches over you!  The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

The sun will not hurt you by day, nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all evil and preserves your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

PSALM KJV 121:1-8

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 they coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
