1A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
1I look up to the mountains. Where does my help come from?2My help comes from the LORD. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.3He won’t let your foot slip. He who watches over you won’t get tired.4In fact, he who watches over Israel won’t get tired or go to sleep.5The LORD watches over you. The LORD is like a shady tree at your right hand.6The sun won’t harm you during the day. The moon won’t harm you during the night.7The LORD will keep you from every kind of harm. He will watch over your life.8The LORD will watch over your life no matter where you go, both now and for ever.
