Psalm 120
|
(A song of ascents.)
1
I lift up my eyes to the hills, to find deliverance;
2
from the Lord deliverance comes to me, the Lord who made heaven and earth.
3
Never will he who guards thee allow thy foot to stumble; never fall asleep at his post!
4
Such a guardian has Israel, one who is never weary, never sleeps;
5
it is the Lord that guards thee, the Lord that stands at thy right hand to give thee shelter.
6
The sun’s rays by day, the moon’s by night, shall have no power to hurt thee.
7
The Lord will guard thee from all evil; the Lord will protect thee in danger;
8
the Lord will protect thy journeying and thy home-coming, henceforth and for ever.
