Psalms 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

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

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

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

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

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

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
