Psaumes 121

1 Cantique des degrés. Je lève mes yeux vers les montagnes… D’où me viendra le secours?

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 Le secours me vient de l’Éternel, Qui a fait les cieux et la terre.

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

3 Il ne permettra point que ton pied chancelle; Celui qui te garde ne sommeillera point.

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 Voici, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, Celui qui garde Israël.

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 L’Éternel est celui qui te garde, L’Éternel est ton ombre à ta main droite.

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

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

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 L’Éternel te gardera de tout mal, Il gardera ton âme;

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 L’Éternel gardera ton départ et ton arrivée, Dès maintenant et à jamais.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
