The LORD Is Thy Keeper

1211 I will lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved.
He who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 Yahweh is your keeper.
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand. 6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night. 7 Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul. 8 Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forth, and forevermore.

A Morning Prayer of Trust in God

31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
