Psalms 121

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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