< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will help for me come?
2 My help will come from the Lord the creator of heaven and earth.
3 Your foot he will not let stumble: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord himself protects you, is your shelter beside you.
6 The sun by day will not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 From all harm the Lord will guard you, will watch over your life.
8 The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
