< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum: neque dormitet qui custodit te.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.
Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te, Dominus protectio tua, super manum dexteram tuam.
The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 Per diem sol non uret te: neque luna per noctem.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo: custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum: ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
