Psalms 125-127
Unless the Lord protects the city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
I've always found peoples fascination with lock and alarm systems somewhat humorous. I used to drive a Toyota 4Runner with a canvas top, I decided early on not to lock my doors since a small pen knife could "unlock" the soft top at a much higher cost than any contents that would be stolen. So often, locks, and alarm systems and similar protection devices only protect contents from people who don't want them very bad. Any thief willing to break glass and move quickly can defeat most systems if the Lord isn't on duty too. But when you add the protection provided by the the one who moves mountains, spits out stars, and creates planets, now you've got a real guard who is able to protect.
