Psalmorum 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

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

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

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

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
