A Song of degrees.

121 I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

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

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

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

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(A) and earth.(B)

He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches(C) over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over(D) you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun(E) will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm(F)
    he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.(G)
