These Are My JOTtings...

Psalm 121 in Iambic Verse

"Mine eyes will lift unto the hills
my help will come from there.
"The Lord, my Help, The One, Who fills
the Heav'n and Earth with care.

"He will not let your foot be moved.
The One, Who keeps you, will not sleep.
"Now LOOK! For Israel's Savior's proved
Alert He is. No sleep His eyelids keep.

"The Lord of all, your Keeper is.
The Lord will shade your strongest side.
"The sun won't strike by day, you're His.
nor moon by night, in Him you hide. (Psalm 91:1-2)

"The Lord preserves you from all ill,
and He preserves your very soul.
"The Lord preserves by His Good Will,
your walking out and in are whole,
"from this time forth your heart to still
and evermore to Heav'nly goal."

Here for the purpose of comparison and edification is Psalm 121:1-8, KJV

"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."
