Psaumes 121

1 Cantique pour les montées. Je lève les yeux vers les montagnes: d'où me viendra le secours?

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Mon secours viendra de Yahweh, qui a fait le ciel et la terre.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Il ne permettra pas que ton pied trébuche; celui qui te garde ne sommeillera pas.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Non, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, celui qui garde Israël.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 Yahweh est ton gardien; Yahweh est ton abri, toujours à ta droite.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Pendant le jour le soleil ne te frappera point, ni la lune pendant la nuit.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 Yahweh te gardera de tout mal, il gardera ton âme:

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 Yahweh gardera ton départ et ton arrivée maintenant et à jamais.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
