Where does my help come from?

Look — the one who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun won't strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will preserve you from all evil; he'll preserve your soul. The LORD will preserve your going out and your coming in from now on and forever.

I'll lift my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He won't let your foot slip. The one who keeps you won't doze off.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
