Salmos 121

1 Mis ojos se elevan a las colinas: ¿de dónde vendrá mi ayuda?

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

2 Tu ayuda viene del Señor, 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 Que no deja que resbale tu pie; no tiene necesidad de dormir el que te guarda.

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

4 Mira, los ojos del guardián de Israel no se cerrarán en el sueño.

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

5 El Señor es tu guardián; el Señor es tu sombra en tu mano derecha.

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

6 No te tocará el sol en el día ni la luna en la 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 El Señor te mantendrá a salvo de todo mal; Él cuidará tu alma.

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

8 El Señor cuidará de tu salida y de tu entrada, desde este momento y para 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.
