< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor 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.
The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
