< 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 caelum 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 Israel.
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 saeculum.
The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
