< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.
My help cometh from YHWH, which made heaven and earth.
3 May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:
YHWH is thy keeper: YHWH is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.
YHWH shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
YHWH shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
