Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

6 The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
