Psalms 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

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

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

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

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

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

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
