1 I ^awill lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help? ‡

2 ^aMy help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth. ‡

3 ^aHe will not allow your foot to¹ be moved;
^bHe who keeps you will not slumber. ‡

4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your¹ keeper;
The Lord is ^ayour shade ^bat your right hand. ‡

6 ^aThe sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night. ‡

7 The Lord shall¹ preserve you from all evil;
He shall ^apreserve your soul. ‡

8 The Lord shall ^apreserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore. ‡
