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 Israël.

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.
