< 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 Israhel
Behold, 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 forward, and forever more.
