< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.
2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help comes from the LORD, which 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 your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your 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 you 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 preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
