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 degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from 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 be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

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

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall 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 will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

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

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
