I lift up my eyes to the hills—
       where does my help come from?

 My help comes from the Lord,
       the Maker of heaven and earth.

 He will not let your foot slip—
       he who watches over you will not slumber;

 indeed, he who watches over Israel
       will neither slumber nor sleep.

 The Lord watches over you—
       the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

 the sun will not harm you by day,
       nor the moon by night.

 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
       he will watch over your life

the Lord will watch over your coming and going
       both now and forevermore.

Psalm 121

***

Spring is coming to our part of the world. The mountains are just emerging from their short winter nap. This week our first baby of the next generation was born, and this Psalm seems just right for baby Justus and his Mama and Daddy.
