(121) A Song of Degrees.
1I lifted up my eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
2My help shall come from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
3Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.
4Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
5The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.
6The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.
7May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.
8The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
