< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
5 The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
