8 The LORD H3068 shall preserve H8104 thy going out H3318 and thy coming in H935 from this time forth, and even for H5704 evermore. H5769
Blessed H1288 shalt thou be when thou comest in, H935 and blessed H1288 shalt thou be when thou goest out. H3318
Also in time past, H865 H8032 when Saul H7586 was king H4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest out H3318 and broughtest in H935 Israel: H3478 and the LORD H3068 said H559 to thee, Thou shalt feed H7462 my people H5971 Israel, H3478 and thou shalt be a captain H5057 over Israel. H3478
Then I proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 there, at the river H5104 of Ahava, H163 that we might afflict H6031 ourselves before H6440 our God, H430 to seek H1245 of him a right H3477 way H1870 for us, and for our little ones, H2945 and for all our substance. H7399
Then we departed H5265 from the river H5104 of Ahava H163 on the twelfth H8147 H6240 day of the first H7223 month, H2320 to go H3212 unto Jerusalem: H3389 and the hand H3027 of our God H430 was upon us, and he delivered H5337 us from the hand H3709 of the enemy, H341 and of such as lay in wait H693 by the way. H1870
He keepeth H5341 the paths H734 of judgment, H4941 and preserveth H8104 the way H1870 of his saints. H2623
In all thy ways H1870 acknowledge H3045 him, and he shall direct H3474 thy paths. H734
Go to G33 now, G3568 ye that say, G3004 To day G4594 or G2532 to morrow G839 we will go G4198 into G1519 such G3592 a city, G4172 and G2532 continue G4160 G4160 there G1563 a G1520 year, G1763 and G2532 buy and sell, G1710 G1710 and G2532 get gain: G2770 G2770 Whereas G3748 ye know G1987 not G3756 what G3588 shall be on the morrow. G839 For G1063 what G4169 is your G5216 life? G2222 It is G2076 even G1063 a vapour, G822 that G4314 appeareth for G5316 a little time, G3641 and G1161 then G1899 vanisheth away. G853 For that G473 ye G5209 ought to say, G3004 If G1437 the Lord G2962 will, G2309 G2532 we shall live, G2198 G2198 and G2532 do G4160 G4160 this, G5124 or G2228 that. G1565 But G1161 now G3568 ye rejoice G2744 in G1722 your G5216 boastings: G212 all G3956 such G5108 rejoicing G2746 is G2076 evil. G4190

Commentary on Psalms 121 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 121
Ps 121:1-8. God's guardian care of His people celebrated.
1. I will lift up mine eyes—expresses desire (compare Ps 25:1), mingled with expectation. The last clause, read as a question, is answered,
2. by avowing God to be the helper, of whose ability His creative power is a pledge (Ps 115:15), to which,
3, 4. His sleepless vigilance is added.
to be moved—(Compare Ps 38:16; 66:9).
5. upon thy right hand—a protector's place (Ps 109:31; 110:5).
6-8. God keeps His people at all times and in all perils.
nor the moon by night—poetically represents the dangers of the night, over which the moon presides (Ge 1:16).
8. thy going out, &c.—all thy ways (De 28:19; Ps 104:23).
evermore—includes a future state.
