PSALM 121
MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD
This short psalm of ascent, sung by the Israelites on their way to Jerusalem, notes God’s protective nature and affirms Him as the source of their help.
God does not rest from protecting Israel; He is their constant keeper and guide. The Israelites refer to God as their shade, a reminder of God providing for the Israelites in Exodus 13 with a cloud by day and a fire by night. Any time, day or night, God is preserving them.
Psalm 121:5 ESV - "The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand."
STUDY QUESTIONS
- Psalm 121:5-6 describes God’s protection as shade.
