< 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 lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
2 My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the 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 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 will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.
Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah 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 YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
8 YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
