Psalm 121
Hoffnung für Alle

Unterwegs unter Gottes Schutz

121 Ein Lied für Festbesucher, die nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen.

Ich schaue hinauf zu den Bergen –
    woher kann ich Hilfe erwarten?
2 Meine Hilfe kommt vom Herrn,
    der Himmel und Erde gemacht hat!

3 Der Herr wird nicht zulassen, dass du fällst;
    er, dein Beschützer, schläft nicht.
4 Ja, der Beschützer Israels
    schläft und schlummert nicht.
5 Der Herr gibt auf dich acht; er steht dir zur Seite
    und bietet dir Schutz vor drohenden Gefahren[a].
6 Tagsüber wird dich die Sonnenglut nicht verbrennen,
    und in der Nacht wird der Mond dir nicht schaden.
7 Der Herr schützt dich vor allem Unheil,
    er bewahrt dein Leben.
8 Er gibt auf dich acht, wenn du aus dem Haus gehst
und wenn du wieder heimkehrst.
    Jetzt und für immer steht er dir bei!

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 shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
