< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;
The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
