Psalms 121

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

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

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

My help is 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 allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

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

Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

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

The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

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

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

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

The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

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

May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
