Psalms 121

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

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

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

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

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

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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