From Whence Comes My Help?

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.  He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. .The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.  The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.  The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.  The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.--Psalm 121



I lift my eyes unto You that dwellest in the heavens.  You are my refuge and my strength...my very present help in time of trouble.  You are the One who holds my right hand and says, "Fear not; I will help thee."  The Lord is with me as a mighty terrible One, therefore, my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed...and their disgrace will not be forgotten.

I can boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me. You, my God, will bear me up in Your hands.  I walk in the way safely and my foot does not stumble.  You are my confidence....I am kept by Your power!

You also, are my Watchman.  You, My God, never sleep .  You are always there when I need You.  Your hand of protection is on me always.  My eyes look up to You who is the shade at my right hand, my light and the One who goes before me always.  You guide me with Your eye.  You keep me night and day and satisfy all my needs.  You are the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  You do not faint nor grow weary.  Your understanding is unsearchable.  You give power to me when I am ready to faint and when I have no might You increase my strength.  When I wait upon You, my strength is renewed and I can run and not grow weary...I can walk and not faint.  


Oh Father, You are my tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat and for a place of refuge at night.  You are my covert from the storm and from the rain.  I am your beloved....Your hand is aways upon me and because I have set You before me always, I shall not be moved.  I will never hunger nor thirst, for You, who has mercy, leads me...even by springs of water, you guide me. You my God will not forget me...I am inscribed on the palms of Your hands and am continually before You.  Therefore, my heart is glad and my flesh rests in hope.  You never leave me nor forsake me O God of my salvation!
