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 my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

My help comes from Yahweh, 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 allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh 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 will not harm 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.

Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.

Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
