< Psalms 121 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?
Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
2 My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.
3 He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.
Non det in commotionem pedem tuum: neque dormitet qui custodit te.
4 Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.
Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.
5 YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,
Dominus custodit te, Dominus protectio tua, super manum dexteram tuam.
6 By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.
Per diem sol non uret te: neque luna per noctem.
7 YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.
Dominus custodit te ab omni malo: custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
8 YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum: ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
