< Psalms 121 >
1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?
2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.
4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.
8 May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
