121:1 I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]--From whence shall my help come? |
121:2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. |
121:3 He will not allow your foot to slip {or} to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber. |
121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. |
121:5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield]. |
121:6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. |
121:7 The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. |
121:8 The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. |
