PSALM 121

¹A song of ascents.

    I lift up my eyes to the mountains:

           from where will my help come?

    ²My help is from the LORD,

           maker of heaven and earth.

    ³ He does not let your foot stumble.

          Your guard does not slumber.

    ⁴Look, He does not slumber nor does He sleep,

          Israel’s guard.

    ⁵The LORD is your guard,

          the LORD is your shade at your right hand.

    ⁶By day the sun does not strike you,

          nor the moon by night.

    ⁷The LORD guards you from all harm,

          He guards your life.

    ⁸The LORD guards your going and your coming,

          now and forevermore.
