< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?
2 My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.
My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
3 May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!
He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.
4 Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.
Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.
5 Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:
YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,
6 By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.
By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.
7 Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.
YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.
8 Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
