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 my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

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

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

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

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
