< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
