A Song of Degrees

1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains, Whence come shall my help.

2 My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Slumber not shall thy guardian.

4 Behold! slumber not nor sleep Shall the guardian of Israel.

5 Jehovah is thy guardian; Jehovah is thy defense on thy right hand.

6 By day the sun shall not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 Jehovah shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

8 Jehovah shall keep thy going out and thy coming in, From this time, and for ever.
