< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.
[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.
My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
3 He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.
Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.
YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.
YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.
YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
