< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. [Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.]
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
