< 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 will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?
2 My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
My help [cometh] from the LORD, which 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 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 YHWH is your keeper. YHWH 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 YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; he shall keep thy soul.
8 YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
The LORD shall keep thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for evermore.
