< 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 will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.
2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.
3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.
5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.
6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.
7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.
8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.
