Psalms 121:8
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
121:8. When we go out in the morning to labor, and come home at eventide to rest, Jehovah will keep us. When we go out in youth to begin life, and come in at the end to die, we shall experience the same keeping. Our exits and our entrances are under one protection. Three times have we the phrase, “Jehovah shall keep,” as if the sacred Trinity thus sealed the word to make it sure: ought not all our fears to be slain by such a threefold flight of arrows? This keeping is eternal, continuing from this time forth forevermore. The whole church is thus assured of everlasting security: the final perseverance of the saints is thus ensured, and the glorious immortality of believers is guaranteed. Under the aegis of such a promise we may go on pilgrimage without trembling, and venture into battle without dread. None are so safe as those whom God keeps, none so much in danger as the self-secure. To goings out and comings in belong particular dangers, since every change of position turns a fresh quarter to the foe, and it is for these weak points that an especial security is provided: Jehovah will keep the door when it opens and closes, and this he will perseveringly continue to do so long as there is left a single person who trusts in him, as long as a danger survives, and in fact as long as time endures. Glory be unto the Keeper of Israel, who is endeared to us under that tide, since our growing sense of weakness makes us feel more deeply than ever our need of being kept.
