Psalms 121

1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
