Psalms 121

1 A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

2 Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.

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

3 He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.

May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

4 Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.

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

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.

The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

6 The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.

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

7 The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.

The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

8 The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.

May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
