Psalm 121:2

Contemporary English Version 1995

It will come from the Lord, who created heaven and earth.

See the chapter Copy

I am the Lord your God. I am holding your hand, so don't be afraid. I am here to help you.

The Lord made heaven and earth, and he is the one who sends us help.

This should make you feel like saying, “The Lord helps me! Why should I be afraid of what people can do to me?”

God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.

But you, Lord, are a mighty soldier, standing at my side. Those troublemakers will fall down and fail— terribly embarrassed, forever ashamed.

May the Lord who created the heavens and the earth give you his blessing.

Israel, you are done for. Don't expect help from me.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
