1 A song for the degrees. I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

2 My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4 Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not––the keeper of Israel.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

6 By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

8 The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
