Salmos 121

1 Alzaré mis ojos a los montes de donde vendrá mi socorro.

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

2 Mi socorro es de parte de Jehová; que hizo los cielos y la tierra.

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

3 No dará tu pie al resbaladero: ni se dormirá el que te guarda.

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

4 He aquí, no se adormecerá, ni dormirá el que guarda a Israel.

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

5 Jehová será tu guardador: Jehová será tu sombra sobre tu mano derecha.

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

6 De día el sol no te fatigará, ni la luna de noche.

[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 Jehová te guardará de todo mal; él guardará a tu alma.

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

8 Jehová guardará tu salida, y tu entrada, desde ahora y hasta siempre.

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.
