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 ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

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

My help comes 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 allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

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

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

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

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

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

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

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

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
