< 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 mountains. From where will help for me come?
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
My help will come from the Lord the creator of heaven and earth.
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
Your foot he will not let stumble: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
The Lord himself protects you, is your shelter beside you.
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
The sun by day will not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
From all harm the Lord will guard you, will watch over your life.
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
