Psalm 121
New King James Version

God the Help of Those Who Seek Him

A Song of Ascents.

121 I (A)will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 (B)My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

3 (C)He will not allow your foot to [a]be moved;
(D)He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your [b]keeper;
The Lord is (E)your shade (F)at your right hand.
6 (G)The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall [c]preserve you from all evil;
He shall (H)preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall (I)preserve[d] your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

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!

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

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

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

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

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