< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?
2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel doth neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.
The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.
8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.
