Psalms 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of 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 slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

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

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

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

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

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

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
