< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
