Psalm 121:1-8 and Proverbs 4:1-6

Psalm 121:1-8
I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the
Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will
not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you-
 the Lord is your shade at
your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
  nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from
all harm-
he will watch over your life;
  the Lord will watch over your
       coming and going
    both now and for ever more.
------------------------------------

Listen my sons, to a father's instruction;
   pay attention and gain understanding.

I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
When I was a boy in my father's
  house,
still tender, and an only child of
my mother,
he taught me and said,
''Lay hold of my words with all
your heart;
keep my commands and you will
live.
Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forsake wisdom, and she
will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over
 you.
