The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. Psalm 121:5 His hand can cool the heat of my burning brow, and stay the tumult of my palpitating heart. That glorious right hand which molded the world can new-create my mind; the unwearied hand which bears the earth's huge pillars up can sustain my spirit; the loving hand which encloses all the saints can cherish me; and the mighty hand which breaketh in pieces the enemy can subdue my sins. CH Spurgeon, 1834-92, British Reformed Baptist
The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. Psalm 121:6 He said not, Thou shall not be tempested, Thou shall not be travailed, Thou shall not be afflicted, But he said, Thou shall not be overcome. Julian of Norwich, C.1342-1416
The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. Psalm 121:7 Our hearts are like the fire in the Interpreter’s house which evil tries to quench, but blazed the more because of a secret and mysterious power, the work of the Holy Spirit. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-92, British Reformed Baptist
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. Psalm 121:8
If I forget, Yet God remembers! If these hands of mine Cease from their clinging, yet the hands divine Hold me so firmly that I cannot fall; And if sometimes I am too tired to call For him to help me, then he reads the prayer Unspoken in my heart, and lifts my care. Robert Browning, 1812-89
Be gracious to us, O Lord; be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. Psalm 123:3 Make up your mind not to nurse anger. David Jeremiah, 1941, Christian Preacher
