7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Because *thou* hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place, There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways: They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
There shall no evil happen to a righteous [man]; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou wilt survey thy fold, and miss nothing. And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth. Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season. Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thyself.
Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.
and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter. But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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.
