Psalms 121

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

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

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

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

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
