Psalm 121: The Keeper

As part of the fifteen Songs Of Ascent, Psalm 121 is focused upon God’s sovereign care of his people. Six times the psalmist emphasizes the truth that the LORD keeps his people. This fact brings a sense of comfort and peace to the LORD’s people, as we consider the guidance he provides and the protection he maintains for all who have placed their trust in him.
The background to this psalm is Numbers 6:24-26 which reads . . .

The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace.

As we journey through life under the LORD’s watchful care, let’s claim the verses in Psalm 121:1-8 for each step that we take.
