Psalms 121

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
