1 I lift up my eyes to the hills; ♦︎
from where is my help to come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, ♦︎
the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to stumble; ♦︎
he who watches over you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel ♦︎
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord himself watches over you; ♦︎
the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day, ♦︎
neither the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall keep you from all evil; ♦︎
it is he who shall keep your soul.
8 The Lord shall keep watch over your going out
and your coming in, ♦︎
from this time forth for evermore.

51Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness,
you that seek the Lord.
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father
and to Sarah who bore you;
for he was but one when I called him,
but I blessed him and made him many.
3 For the Lord will comfort Zion;
he will comfort all her waste places,
and will make her wilderness like Eden,
her desert like the garden of the Lord;
joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the voice of song.

3 I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. 6For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; 7for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
