Psalm 121

A song for going up to worship.

I look up toward the mountains.
    Where can I find help?
My help comes from Yahweh,
    the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let you fall.
    Your guardian will not fall asleep.
Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.
Yahweh is your guardian.
    Yahweh is the shade over your right hand.
The sun will not beat down on you during the day,
    nor will the moon at night.
Yahweh guards you from every evil.
    He guards your life.
Yahweh guards you as you come and go,
    now and forever.

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)
