Ascent Week 6

Psalm 125

1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
       which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
       so the LORD surrounds his people
            both now and forevermore.

3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain
      over the land allotted to the righteous,
   for then the righteous might use
      their hands to do evil

4 LORD, do good to those who are good,
     to those who are upright in heart.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways
     the LORD will banish with the evildoers.

    Peace be on Israel.


We will see you tomorrow!

Ascent Week 2

Once again, remember that these verses were read to encourage the people of God on their journey to worship their God in His temple. Today, may these words encourage us as we look forward to the worship we have on Sunday together!

Psalm 121New Living Translation (NLT)

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth!

He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
    never slumbers or sleeps.

The Lord himself watches over you!
    The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all harm
    and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
    both now and forever.
