Awit ng Pag-akyat.

121 Ang aking mga mata sa burol ay aking ititingin,
    ang akin bang saklolo ay saan manggagaling?
Ang saklolo sa akin ay buhat sa Panginoon,
    na siyang gumawa ng langit at lupa.

Hindi niya papahintulutang ang paa mo'y madulas;
    siyang nag-iingat sa iyo ay hindi matutulog.
Siyang nag-iingat ng Israel
    ay hindi iidlip ni matutulog man.

Ang Panginoon ay iyong tagapag-ingat;
    ang Panginoon ay lilim mo sa iyong kanan.
Hindi ka sasaktan ng araw kapag araw,
    ni ng buwan man kapag gabi.

Iingatan ka ng Panginoon sa lahat ng kasamaan;
    kanyang iingatan ang iyong kaluluwa.
Ang iyong paglabas at ang iyong pagpasok ay kanyang iingatan,
    mula sa panahong ito at magpakailanpaman.

The Lord Guards His People

A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover].

121 I ·look up [L raise my eyes] to the hills [C the hills surrounding Zion, the location of the Temple],
    but where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth [Gen. 1].

He will not let ·you be defeated [L your feet be moved/slip].
    He who ·guards [watches] you never sleeps.
He who ·guards [watches] Israel
    never ·rests [sleeps] or ·sleeps [slumbers].

The Lord ·guards [watches] you.
    The Lord is the shade ·that protects you from the sun [L at your hand, your right hand; 91:1].
The sun cannot ·hurt [L strike] you during the day,
    and the moon cannot ·hurt [L strike] you at night.
The Lord will ·protect [guard; watch] you from all ·dangers [trouble; evil];
    he will ·guard [watch] your life.
The Lord will ·guard [watch] you as you come and go,
    both now and forever.

121 1-2 I look up to the mountains;
    does my strength come from mountains?
No, my strength comes from God,
    who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

3-4 He won’t let you stumble,
    your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel’s
    Guardian will never doze or sleep.

5-6 God’s your Guardian,
    right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
    sheltering you from moonstroke.

7-8 God guards you from every evil,
    he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
    he guards you now, he guards you always.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(A) and earth.(B)

He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches(C) over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over(D) you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun(E) will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm(F)
    he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.(G)
