1(121) A Song of Degrees. I lifted up my eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
1A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
2My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
3He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
5Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
6The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
6The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
7Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
8Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
