Psalms 121

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

2 My help comes from YHWH, 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 suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

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

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at 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.

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

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

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
