Psalms 121

1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?

2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
