Psalm Chapter 121 - A Song of degrees

Psalm 121: The Lord Our Keeper

This episode presents Psalm 121, a Song of degrees that begins with the speaker lifting their eyes to the hills and asking where help comes from, then answering that help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. The Psalm emphasizes God’s vigilant care: He will not allow the foot to be moved, and the One who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. The Lord is described as a personal keeper and as shade at the right hand, guarding day and night so that neither sun nor moon will strike. It concludes with a promise of preservation from all evil, the keeping of the soul, and God’s protection over going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
