< Ψαλμοί 121 >
1 ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου εἰς τὰ ὄρη πόθεν ἥξει ἡ βοήθειά μου
I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
2 ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 μὴ δῷς εἰς σάλον τὸν πόδα σου μηδὲ νυστάξῃ ὁ φυλάσσων σε
May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 ἰδοὺ οὐ νυστάξει οὐδὲ ὑπνώσει ὁ φυλάσσων τὸν Ισραηλ
Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
5 κύριος φυλάξει σε κύριος σκέπη σου ἐπὶ χεῖρα δεξιάν σου
The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
6 ἡμέρας ὁ ἥλιος οὐ συγκαύσει σε οὐδὲ ἡ σελήνη τὴν νύκτα
The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
7 κύριος φυλάξει σε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ φυλάξει τὴν ψυχήν σου
The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
8 κύριος φυλάξει τὴν εἴσοδόν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος
May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
