Psalms 121

1 A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

3 Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

Jehovah is your keeper. Jehovah is your shade on your right hand.

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

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

7 From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

Jehovah will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.

Jehovah will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
