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 hills. Where does my help come from?

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

My help comes from Yahweh, 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 allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

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

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

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

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

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

Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
