1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Do we not understand that God loved Israel even though she was continually rebelling against Him. There were times wherein they had good and faithful leaders, but they did not appreciate what God did for them and often they acted as their fathers had done under the leadership of the great servant of God, Moses.

"Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." Ps 121:4.
