Sharing a prayer

This Psalm was read at the church service dedicated to John (held in Adare, Co Limerick, Ireland, on the 18th January 2013). I read it every morning as part of my morning prayers for John.    

Psalm 121: A pilgrimage song
I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
From where shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth.

May he never allow you to stumble!
Let him sleep not, your guard.
No, he sleeps not nor slumbers,
Israel’s guard.

The Lord is your guard and your shade
At your right side he stands.
By day the sun shall not smite you
Nor the moon in the night.

The Lord will guard you from evil,
He will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your going and coming
Both now and for ever.
