< 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 for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?
2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help is from the Lord, the maker of 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 slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.
4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.
Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.
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, he is on thy right hand.
6 You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.
By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.
The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.
8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
