Hearing The Word
I lift up my eyes to the hills, whence comes my help?
My help comes from God, who made heaven and earth.
God will not let our foot be moved;
God who keeps you will not slumber.
God who keeps Isreal will neither slumber nor sleep.
God is your keeper; God is your shade at your side.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
God will keep you from all evil; God will keep your life.
God will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time and forevermore.
Psalm 121
