Psalms 121

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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 stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

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

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at 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 will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

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

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
