< Psalmorum 121 >
1 canticum graduum levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi
A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
2 auxilium meum a Domino qui fecit caelum et terram
My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 non det in commotionem pedem tuum neque dormitet qui custodit te
May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
4 ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israhel
Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
5 Dominus custodit te Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam
The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
6 per diem sol non uret te neque luna per noctem
The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo custodiat animam tuam Dominus
The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
