YAHWEH (JEHOVAH) SABAOTH – The LORD of Hosts, The LORD our Protector
Psalm 121 Christian Standard Bible
I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.
The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.
The Lord will protect you from all harm;
he will protect your life.
The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.
God does not ignore us. He is never surprised. He is constantly aware of us and our surroundings to protect us. At night he stands guard. During the day he is at watch. He never leaves us or forsakes us. He is God our Protector.
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Psalm 5:11 New International Version
“My life is a mystery which I do not attempt to really understand,
as though I were led by the hand in a night where I see nothing,
but can fully depend on the love and protection of Him who guides me.” Thomas Merton
