A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

3 Aman nangma nakipalsah louding; nachingpa chu ihmu louding ahi.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Tahbeh'in Israel chingpa chu itihchan hijongleh ihmu lhulou ding ahilouleh ihmu louding ahi.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

6 Sun leh nisan nasangpeh pontin, janleh lhavah injong nasubeipon te.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
