< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
