My 'Firefighter's prayer'

I lift up my eyes unto the hills - 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;
He who watches over all firefighters will neither sleep nor slumber.

The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your "hand tool" at your right hand;
The smoke will not harm you by day, nor the fire by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life;

The Lord will watch over your coming and your going both now and forevermore.

amen.

(adapted from Psalm 121)
