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 my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

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

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

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

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
