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. From where will my help come?

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

My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

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

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

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

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

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

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

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

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

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

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
