The LORD Is Thy Keeper

1211 I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come? 2 My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. 3 He 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 henceforth and for evermore.

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me! 2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me. 6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
