Psalmorum 121

1 canticum graduum levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

2 auxilium meum a Domino qui fecit caelum et terram

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 non det in commotionem pedem tuum neque dormitet qui custodit te

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4 ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israhel

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

5 Dominus custodit te Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

6 per diem sol non uret te neque luna per noctem

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo custodiat animam tuam Dominus

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
