🌾 Psalms 121

Psalms 121 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.” Psalms 121 opens with these words: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?” The line to keep is Psalms 121:1: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?” Carry the word “lift” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 121:1: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 121? Then try this: Read “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
