Psalms 121

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

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

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

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

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

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
