The Whole Book of Psalms ‎#CXXI

CXXI. To Sion's hill I lift my eyes

1 To Sion's hill I lift my eyes,
from thence expecting aid;
2 From Sion's hill and Sion's God,
who heav'n and earth has made.

3 Then thou, my soul, in safety rest,
thy guardian will not sleep;
4 His watchful care, that Israel guards,
will Israel's monarch keep.

5 Shelter'd beneath th' Almighty's wings
thou shalt securely rest,
6 Where neither sun nor moon shall thee
by day or night molest.

7 From common accidents of life
his care shall guard thee still;
8 From the lind strokes of chance, and foes
that lie in wait to kill.

9 At home, abroad, in peace, in war,
thy God shall thee defend;
Conduct thee through life's pilgrimage
safe to thy journey's end.
