Strength For Today – Day 3

₁I look to the mountains;

where will my help come from?

₂My help will come from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.

₃He will not let you fall;

your protector is always awake.

₄The protector of Israel

never dozes or sleeps.

₅The LORD will guard you;

he is by your side to protect you.

₆The sun will not hurt you during the day,

nor the moon during the night.

₇The LORD will protect you from all danger;

he will keep you safe.

₈He will protect you as you come and go

now and for ever.

₁Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,

which can never be shaken, never be moved.

₂As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds his people

now and for ever.

₁From the depths of my despair I call to you, LORD.

₂Hear my cry, O Lord;

listen to my call for help!

₃If you kept a record of our sins,

who could escape being condemned?

₄But you forgive us,

so that we should stand in awe of you.

₅I wait eagerly for the LORD's help,

and in his word I trust.

₆I wait for the Lord

more eagerly than watchmen wait for the dawn —

than watchmen wait for the dawn.

₇Israel, trust in the LORD,

because his love is constant

and he is always willing to save.

₈He will save his people Israel

from all their sins.
