Psalms 121

1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from which cometh my help.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

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

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

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