121 1 This Psalm teacheth that the faithful ought only to look for help at God, 7 who only doth maintain, preserve and prosper his Church.

A song of degrees.

I will lift up mine eyes [a]unto the mountains, from whence my help shall come.

Mine help cometh from the Lord, which hath made the [b]heaven and the earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: for he that keepeth thee, will not [c]slumber.
