Psalm 121 ~ Psalm 121

picture

1 I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: 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 from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

My help from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 H e will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

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

4 B ehold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

5 J ehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

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

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

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

7 J ehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

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

8 J ehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.

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