< Psalms 121 >
1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8 May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
