< Psalmorum 121 >
1 Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.
My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and 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 shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Dominus custodit te, Dominus protectio tua, super manum dexteram tuam.
The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [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.
The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum: ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
