Psalm 121

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? 

2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 

3 He will not let your foot slip – he who watches over you will not slumber; 

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 

5 The Lord watches over you – the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 

6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm – he will watch over your life; 

8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore.

Psalm 121

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 

2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 

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

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 

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

7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 

8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
