Psalm 121

A Song of degrees.

1        I to the hills will lift mine eyes,

                   from whence doth come mine aid.

2        My safety cometh from the Lord,

                   who heav'n and earth hath made.

3        Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will

                   he slumber that thee keeps.

4        Behold, he that keeps Israel,

                   he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

5        The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade

                   on thy right hand doth stay:

6        The moon by night thee shall not smite,

                   nor yet the sun by day.

7        The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall

                   preserve thee from all ill.

8        Henceforth thy going out and in

                   God keep for ever will.
