Salmos 121

VBL · Chapter 121/150

1Un cántico para los peregrinos que van a Jerusalén. Alzo la vista hacia los montes, pero, ¿Es de allí de donde viene mi ayuda?

2Mi ayuda viene del Señor, quien hizo los cielos y la tierra.

3Él no te dejará caer; Él, que cuida de ti no caerá dormido.

4De hecho, Él, que te cuida, no toma siestas ni se adormece nunca.

5El Señor es quien te cuida; el Señor es quien te protege; Él permanece a tu lado.

6El sol no te herirá durante el día, ni la luna durante la noche.

7El Señor te protegerá de todos los malos; y te mantendrá a salvo.

8El Señor te protegerá en tu entrar y en tu salir, desde ahora y para siempre.

Summary

One of the most beloved psalms of trust: 'I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help' — describing a guardian God who never sleeps or slumbers, watching over his people's going out and coming in.

Explanation

This second 'Song of Degrees' probably reflected the relief pilgrims felt when they caught sight, in the distance, of the hills surrounding Jerusalem, knowing that the journey (often dangerous, because of bandits or weather) was nearing its end. The repetition of the word 'keep/watch' six times in eight verses emphasizes the central idea of constant, vigilant protection. The application for today is to remember, especially in moments of travel, change, or uncertainty, that God's protection never takes a break or rests.
