Psalms 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

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

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

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

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

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

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

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

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

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

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

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

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
