Psalm 121

1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
