Psalms 121

1A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come? 2My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. 3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand; 6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul. 8Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
