< 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 cometh my help!
2 My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens 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 slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!
4 Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.
Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.
5 YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,
Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:
6 By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.
By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.
7 YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.
Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.
8 YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
