I will lift mine eyes untothe 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 nor sleep.The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.The Lord shall preservethee 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
