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