Lelei, Psalm 121

My Kenyan friend, Lelei, emailed me recently and asked me to read Psalm 121... He was one of the students (he's just 19), who was right in the middle of all of the political chaos and turmoil in western Kenya...

I lift up my eyes to the hills --
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip --
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches of Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you --
the LORD is you shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm --
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
