Psalms 121

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
