< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will help for me come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
My help will come from the Lord the creator of heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
Your foot he will not let stumble: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The Lord himself protects you, is your shelter beside you.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun by day will not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
From all harm the Lord will guard you, will watch over your life.
8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
