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.
