Psalms 121

1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

3 Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

5 The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

6 The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

7 May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

8 The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.

YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
