Psalms 121

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

שִׁיר לַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל־הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִֽי׃

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

עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יְהֹוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃

3 He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

אַל־יִתֵּן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֶךָ אַל־יָנוּם שֹׁמְרֶֽךָ׃

4 In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

הִנֵּה לֹֽא־יָנוּם וְלֹא יִישָׁן שׁוֹמֵר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

5 The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

יְהֹוָה שֹׁמְרֶךָ יְהֹוָה צִלְּךָ עַל־יַד יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

6 The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

יוֹמָם הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לֹֽא־יַכֶּכָּה וְיָרֵחַ בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

יְֽהֹוָה יִשְׁמׇרְךָ מִכׇּל־רָע יִשְׁמֹר אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.

יְֽהֹוָה יִשְׁמׇר־צֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֶךָ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
