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 Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

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

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

5 The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

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

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

The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
