8th day

I re-memorized psalm 121 today. I confess I memorized it in the NIV when I was about 7 years old, so it’s hard to undo. The key differences of NIV vs ESV in this psalm are “watch over” vs. “keep” and “harm” vs. “evil.” Here’s the ESV anyway.

psalm 121

121:1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
