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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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