Psalms 121

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
