< Psalms 121 >
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
My help comes from Adonai, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he who keeps Israel [God prevails] will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
Adonai is your keeper. Adonai is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
Adonai will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
Adonai will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
