< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.
My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum: neque dormitet qui custodit te.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te, Dominus protectio tua, super manum dexteram tuam.
Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon 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.
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum: ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
