Psalms 121

1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian 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 he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

8 May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
