< Psalms 121 >

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
