1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills —From whence shall my help come?

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

2 M y help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

My help from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 H e will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber.

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 B ehold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

5 T he Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

Jehovah thy preserver, Jehovah thy shade on thy right hand,

6 T he sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 T he Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life.

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

8 T he Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
