Psalms 121

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.

2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.

3 He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.

4 In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.

5 The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.

6 The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.

Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
