Psalm 121 is a “Song of Ascents”. This means that Psalm 121 was sung as God’s people made their pilgrimage to the temple in Jerusalem. The trip was long and very tiring, being made entirely on foot so God’s people would sing as they made their way to the temple. Psalm 121 is one of the songs they would sing. The Psalms starts like this: I lift up m...
The word keep (and its variations) is used 6 times in verses 3-8. We can see from these six uses, that when God keeps us: 1. he does not let our foot be moved 2. he neither sleeps nor slumbers in order to keep us 3. his keeping is like the shade at our right hand 4. he protects us from evil 5. he preserves our lives 6. he watches over our going out...
We who live in these last days know, far better than the Psalmist did, just exactly how far God would go to keep us from being separated from Him. He would go as far as separating himself from his only son that he might never separate from us. We find this assurance, that God will always keep us, in Romans 8:35-39: Who shall separate us from the lo...
I was drawn to Psalm 121 because I felt its relevance during some of the things our world has been experiencing during these troubling days. I’ve been greatly concerned about the divisions I’ve seen in the church between those who want to wear masks and those who don’t. I’ve been overwhelmed by the thought of the American Church’s complicity in rac...

- He Will Not Let Your Foot Slip, He Who Watches Over You Will Not Slumber. (Psalm 121:3) This is a picture of a traveler traversing treacherous terrain walking toward the temple to worship.
- Indeed, He Who Watches Over Israel Will Neither Slumber Nor Sleep. (Psalm 121:4) The Psalmist here expands the scope. God isn’t just watching over him, but the entire nation.
Aug 3, 2020 · Psalm 121 is a beautiful poem that reminds us of what we somehow keep forgetting—that we do not have to live in fear, because we have a God who keeps us. This poem is part of the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134), a group of songs believed to have been sung by Jewish pilgrims as they traveled to worship in the temple in Jerusalem.
Here, God reveals several things that He offers you when you are attacked for doing His will. These include: (1) the Holy Spirit, (2) sustainment, (3) His watchful eyes, (4) physical protection, (5) spiritual protection, (6) eternal protection for your soul, and (7) His comprehensive faithfulness.
He will preserve the soul, that it be not defiled by sin, and disturbed by affliction; he will preserve it from perishing eternally. He will keep thee in life and death; going out to thy labour in the morning of thy days, and coming home to thy rest when the evening of old age calls thee in. It is a protection for life.
