Psalms 121

1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
