< Psalms 121 >

1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall my help come?
2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
My help is from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.
3 Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
He will not allow thy foot to be moved. He who keeps thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
Jehovah is thy keeper. Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil. He will keep thy soul.
8 The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
