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 up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

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

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

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

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

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

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

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

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
