< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
