Psalmorum 121

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. From where will my help come?

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

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

3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.

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

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

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

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

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
