Psalm 121

Authorship[ ]

This Psalm is anonymous, though it has been attributed to Hezekiah.

(This began as Wendland's Expository Outline^[1], but may be adapted.)

I. The psalmist looks up to God. (1-2)

A. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

B. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

II. God looks after the psalmist. (3-8)

A. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.

B. He that keepeth thee will not slumber or sleep.

C. The Lord is:

1. Thy keeper.

2. Thy shade upon thy right hand.

D. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

E. The preservation of the Lord:

1. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.

2. The Lord shall preserve thy soul.

3. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore.
