The Lord the Keeper of Israel

Psalm 121 (AMP)

The Lord the Keeper of Israel.

 I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—

From where shall my help come?

My help comes from the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to slip;

He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, He who keeps Israel

Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].

The Lord is your keeper;

The Lord is your shade on your right hand.

The sun will not strike you by day,

Nor the moon by night.

The Lord will protect you from all evil;

He will keep your life.

8

The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]

From this time forth and forever.

Psalm 129:5(NLT)

5 May all who hate Jerusalem

    be turned back in shameful defeat.

Psalm 51:18New Living Translation (NLT)

18 Look with favor on Zion and help her;

    rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Psalm 48:1-7 (NLT)

1 How great is the Lord,

    how deserving of praise,

in the city of our God,

    which sits on his holy mountain!

2 It is high and magnificent;

    the whole earth rejoices to see it!

Mount Zion, the holy mountain,[a]

    is the city of the great King!

3 God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,

    revealing himself as its defender.

4 The kings of the earth joined forces

    and advanced against the city.

5 But when they saw it, they were stunned;

    they were terrified and ran away.

6 They were gripped with terror

    and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.

7 You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish

    shattered by a powerful east wind.

Psalm 102:12-17 (NLT)

12 But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever.

    Your fame will endure to every generation.

13 You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem[a]—

    and now is the time to pity her,

    now is the time you promised to help.

14 For your people love every stone in her walls

    and cherish even the dust in her streets.

15 Then the nations will tremble before the Lord.

    The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.

16 For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem.

    He will appear in his glory.

17 He will listen to the prayers of the destitute.

    He will not reject their pleas.
