Understand

Psalm 121 begins with a traveler-like speaker looking toward the hills and asking where help comes from. The answer is repeated and expanded: help comes from Yahweh, maker of heaven and earth, who keeps Israel and watches over the worshiper's whole life. The chapter moves from a question about help to a sweeping promise of keeping by day, by night, now, and forever.

Themes Help from Yahweh · The maker of heaven and earth · God as keeper · Protection by day and night

I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

For did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.
