Psalms 121

1 [When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”

A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.

2 [And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.

3 He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.

He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.

4 The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].

Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.

5 Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.

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.

The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.

7 Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.

The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.

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.

The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.
