Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills;*
from where is my help to come?
2 My help comes from the LORD,*
the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved*
and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel*
shall neither slumber nor sleep;
5 The LORD himself watches over you;*
the LORD is your shade at your right hand,
6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day,*
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;*
it is he who shall keep you safe.
8 The LORD shall watch over your going out and your coming in,*
from this time forth for evermore.
Collect of the Day
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of this redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
