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