Psalms 121

1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

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

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

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

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

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

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; he shall keep thy soul.

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 The LORD shall keep thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for evermore.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
