< Psalms 121 >
1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?
A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
2 My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.
Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
8 The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
