Psalm 121

My Help Comes from the LORD

A Song of Ascents.

    [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.

Oh So Good Salad

18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

19 and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you."

20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped.

21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong. - Job 1:18-22
