< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?
2 My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.
My help cometh from the LORD, Who 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 stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.
4 Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.
Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:
The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at 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.
The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.
8 Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
