< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.
2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
