Psalm 121

You have probably noticed that in scripture the worshippers were always said to “go up” to Jerusalem. The reason that you “go up” is that Jerusalem is located on the top of a chain of mountains that runs through the center of the land. It was an arduous journey and fraught with danger — who knows what beast or bandit might be lying in wait? So the Psalmist looks up to the route ahead and asks, “Where will I find help for what I now face?” The answer for all “the mountains of life” is, of course, the Lord — always present to provide the needed help. 
Lifting my eyes, I look to the mountains 
Does my help come from there?
My help’s not there, it comes from the Lord 
The Creator who answers prayer.

Our guardian never slumbers or sleeps
So our feet will never give way;
The One who cares so much for you 
Is on duty both night and day.

The Lord delights in shielding you
In the shade of his own right hand;
The sun by day will bring no harm
Nor the moon as it shines on the land.

The Lord will protect you from every danger
Your safety he’ll never ignore;
He will watch over you wherever you go
Both now and forever more.
