< 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 will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
