Psalm 121 Wedding Reading

This week, we’re diving further into Psalm 121 to elaborate on why we chose it to be included in our religious wedding reading roundup. Psalm 121 is a verse in the Bible that reiterates the strength of God. It makes for a great wedding reading because it is a gentle reminder that you can always rely on and count on God to be there in times of hardship and struggle. If you’re having a wedding ceremony where you say the traditional vows (in sickness and health), then this would be an amazing reading to include as a reflection that your faith as a couple will give you the power to have a happy, successful, loving marriage. Here's a downloadable PDF version of Psalm 121!

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
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 forevermore.
