Psalms 121

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

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.

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

My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

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

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

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

The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

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

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
