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

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

2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.

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

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

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet, qui custodit Israel.

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

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

7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo: custodiat animam tuam Dominus.

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

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

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