< 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 will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?
2 My help comes 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 allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard 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.
