Psalmorum 121

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

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

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
