                Psalm 121

1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,

From whence cometh my help.

2My help cometh from the LORD,

Which made heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4Behold, he that keepeth Israel

Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is thy keeper:

The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day,

Nor the moon by night.

7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:

He shall preserve thy soul.

8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

From this time forth, and even for evermore.

Song of Ascent : Song of Degrees - Psalm 120

Today is the 1st of July and for the next 4 days right up to Independence Day, for each new day we will have a new psalm in sequence. Each psalm is a step forward in the eventual conclusion of sojourning. This, for the pilgrim, concludes in arriving at the temple in Jerusalem, with one final step in Praise and worship that lifts and ascends to the throne of God in Heaven. There are actually 15 Psalms that form the complete collection of Psalms for the Song of Ascent, but essentially it is the first four Psalms (120 - 123) that follow the footsteps of the pilgrims' journey to Jerusalem. How fitting that we can use these psalms now for our own reflection as we prepare for the 4th of July.  For further study, I can recommend an excellent article at Enduring Word.

Psalm 120 (KJV) A Song of Degrees.

1In my distress

I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,

And from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,

That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6My soul hath long dwelt

With him that hateth peace.

7I am for peace:

But when I speak, they are for war.
