Psalms 121

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

The song of greces. I reiside myn iyen to the hillis; fro whannus help schal come to me.

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

Myn help is of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.

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

The Lord yyue not thi foot in to mouyng; nether he nappe, that kepith thee.

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

Lo! he schal not nappe, nether slepe; that kepith Israel.

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

The Lord kepith thee; the Lord is thi proteccioun aboue thi riythond.

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 schal not brenne thee bi dai; nether the moone bi nyyt.

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

The Lord kepe thee fro al yuel; the Lord kepe thi 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 kepe thi goyng in and thi goyng out; fro this tyme now and in to the world.
