< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
