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. From where will my help come?

2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

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

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

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

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

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

7 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

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

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
