3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.
Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.
I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.

Psalm 121
Some call this the soldier's psalm, and think it was penned in the camp, when David was hazarding his life in the high places of the field, and thus trusted God to cover his head in the day of battle. Others call it the traveller's psalm (for there is nothing in it of military dangers) and think David penned it when he was going abroad, and designed it pro vehiculo-for the carriage, for a good man's convoy and companion in a journey or voyage. But we need not thus appropriate it; wherever we are, at home or abroad, we are exposed to danger more than we are aware of; and this psalm directs and encourages us to repose ourselves and our confidence in God, and by faith to put ourselves under his protection and commit ourselves to his care, which we must do, with an entire resignation and satisfaction, in singing this psalm.
A song of degrees.
