< Psalms 121 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from which cometh my help.
2 My help comes from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.
My help cometh 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.
He will not allow thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah is your keeper. Jehovah is your shade on your right hand.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 Jehovah will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
