Psalms 121

1 A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
