< Psalms 121 >
1 A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?
canticum graduum levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi
2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
auxilium meum a Domino qui fecit caelum et terram
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.
non det in commotionem pedem tuum neque dormitet qui custodit te
4 See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israhel
5 Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.
Dominus custodit te Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
per diem sol non uret te neque luna per noctem
7 Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.
Dominus custodit te ab omni malo custodiat animam tuam Dominus
8 Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
