< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.
“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?
2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.
5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.
The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.
8 The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
