Psalm 121 is a pilgrim song of ascent, sung during the annual holy days. It focuses on the ever-vigilant God who keeps His eye on His people, protecting them from all dangers on the road as they travel night and day. God, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, protects His people, placing a protective hedge about them. A thirsty man traveling through Death Valley had to make a decision based on faith. Sometimes the trials and tests we go through require the same degree of faith. God the Father, who watches over us constantly like a loving parent, has instructed us that if we carefully follow His commands, we will have all the provisions we need.
