< Psalms 121 >
1 [When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”
我舉目向聖山瞻望,我的救助要來自何方。
2 [And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
我的救助來自上主,是他創造了天地宇宙。
3 He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.
他決不讓您的腳滑倒;保護您的也決不睡覺。
4 The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].
看那保護以色列者,不打盹也不會睡著。
5 Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].
上主站在您的右邊,作您的護衛和保全。
6 [He will not allow] the sun to harm us during the day, and [he will not allow] the moon to harm us during the night.
白天太陽必不傷您,黑夜月亮也不害您。
7 Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.
上主保護您於任何災患,上主保護您的心靈平安。
8 He will protect us from the time that we leave [our houses in the morning] until we return [in the evening]; he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.
上主保護您出外,保護您回來,從現在起一直到永遠。
