Psalms 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?

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

My help cometh 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.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

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

Behold, He that keepeth Israel doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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 shade upon thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

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

The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.
