Psalms 121

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

canticum graduum levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi

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

auxilium meum a Domino qui fecit caelum et terram

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

non det in commotionem pedem tuum neque dormitet qui custodit te

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

ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israhel

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

Dominus custodit te Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam

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

per diem sol non uret te neque luna per noctem

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

Dominus custodit te ab omni malo custodiat animam tuam Dominus

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

Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
