< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?
2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel doth neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.
The LORD is thy keeper; the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.
The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.
8 Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever.
