المَزامِير 121

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ أَرْفَعُ عَيْنَيَّ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ. مِنْ أَيْنَ يَأْتِي عَوْنِي؟

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

٢ 2 يَأْتِي عَوْنِي مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

٣ 3 لَا يَدَعُ قَدَمَكَ تَزِلُّ. لَا يَنْعَسُ حَافِظُكَ.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

٤ 4 لَا يَنْعَسُ وَلَا يَنَامُ حَافِظُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

٥ 5 الرَّبُّ هُوَ حَافِظُكَ، الرَّبُّ سِتْرٌ لَكَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

٦ 6 لَنْ تَضْرِبَكَ الشَّمْسُ بِحَرِّهَا نَهَاراً وَلَا الْقَمَرُ بِنُورِهِ لَيْلاً.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

٧ 7 يَقِيكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ. يَقِي نَفْسَكَ.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُ ذِهَابَكَ وَإِيَابَكَ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
