Psalm 121

English Standard Version

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of ^(A)Ascents.

121 I ^(B)lift up my eyes to ^(C)the hills.
From where does my help come?
²^(D)My help comes from the Lord,
who ^(E)made heaven and earth.

³He will not ^(F)let your foot be moved;
he who ^(G)keeps you will not slumber.
⁴Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your ^(H)shade on your ^(I)right hand.
⁶^(J)The sun shall not ^(K)strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.

⁷The Lord will ^(L)keep you from all evil;
    he will ^(M)keep your life.
⁸The Lord will keep
    your ^(N)going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

Jude 17-25

English Standard Version

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷But you must ^(A)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸They^[a] said to you, ^(B)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” ¹⁹It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, ^(C)devoid of the Spirit. ²⁰But you, beloved, ^(D)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and ^(E)praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹^(F)keep yourselves in the love of God, ^(G)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. ²²And have mercy on those who doubt; ²³save others by ^(H)snatching them out of ^(I)the fire; to others show mercy ^(J)with fear, hating even ^(K)the garment^[b] stained by the flesh.

Doxology

²⁴^(L)Now to him who is able ^(M)to keep you from stumbling and ^(N)to present you ^(O)blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, ²⁵to ^(P)the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, ^(Q)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time^[c] and now and forever. Amen.
