Psalmorum 121

1 Canticum graduum. [Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.

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

2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.

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

3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.

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

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.

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

5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.

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

6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.

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

7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.

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

8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.]

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