Psalms 121

1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

My help comes from Adonai, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Behold, he who keeps Israel [God prevails] will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.

Adonai is your keeper. Adonai is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

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

7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

Adonai will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

Adonai will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
