詩篇 121

1 我舉目向聖山瞻望，我的救助要來自何方。

[When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”

2 我的救助來自上主，是他創造了天地宇宙。

[And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

3 他決不讓您的腳滑倒；保護您的也決不睡覺。

He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.

4 看那保護以色列者，不打盹也不會睡著。

The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].

5 上主站在您的右邊，作您的護衛和保全。

Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].

6 白天太陽必不傷您，黑夜月亮也不害您。

[He will not allow] the sun to harm us during the day, and [he will not allow] the moon to harm us during the night.

7 上主保護您於任何災患，上主保護您的心靈平安。

Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.

8 上主保護您出外，保護您回來，從現在起一直到永遠。

He will protect us from the time that we leave [our houses in the morning] until we return [in the evening]; he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.
