< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.
5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:
6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
