Psalms 121

1 [A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

2 My help comes from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

4 Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

5 Jehovah is your keeper. Jehovah is your shade on your right hand.

The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Jehovah will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

8 Jehovah will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.

May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
