Psalms 121

1 “A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6 By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

7 The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.

The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
