Psalmi 121

1 Svoje oči bom povzdignil h goram, od koder prihaja moja pomoč.

[When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”

2 Moja pomoč prihaja od Gospoda, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.

[And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

3 Ne bo trpel, da bi bilo tvoje stopalo premaknjeno. On, ki te varuje, ne bo dremal.

He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.

4 Glej, kdor varuje Izraela, ne bo niti dremal niti spal.

The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].

5 Gospod je tvoj čuvaj; Gospod je tvoja senca na tvoji desnici.

Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].

6 Sonce te ne bo udarilo podnevi niti luna ponoči.

[He will not allow] the sun to harm us during the day, and [he will not allow] the moon to harm us during the night.

7 Gospod te bo varoval pred vsem zlom; varoval bo tvojo dušo.

Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.

8 Gospod bo ohranil tvoje odhajanje in tvoje prihajanje od tega časa dalje in na vékomaj.

He will protect us from the time that we leave [our houses in the morning] until we return [in the evening]; he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.
