< Psalms 121 >
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help.
A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand.
The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
