< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.
4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.
6 The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.
8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
