Psalm 121
This psalm is a song of trust in God's unfailing protection and watchful care, often sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. It reassures the faithful that divine assistance comes from the Creator of all. It is prayed for divine protection, during journeys, or when seeking reassurance in times of uncertainty.

My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
