Jehovah the Keeper of Israel

A Song of Ascents.


[1]	I WILL lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?
[2]	My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

[3]	He 1 will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
[4]	Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.
[5]	Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
[6]	The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.
[7]	Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.
[8]	Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.

Note 1. Or, Let him not suffer … Let him not slumber that &c. [back]
