1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—
From where shall my help come? [Jer 3:23]

Who made heaven and earth.

He who keeps you will not slumber. [1 Sam 2:9; Ps 127:1; Prov 3:23, 26; Is 27:3]
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].

The Lord is your shade on your right hand. [Is 25:4]
6 The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night. [Ps 91:5; Is 49:10; Rev 7:16]
7 The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your life.
8 The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]
From this time forth and forever. [Deut 28:6; Prov 2:8; 3:6]
