Psalm 121

A song for going up to worship.

I look up toward the mountains.
    Where can I find help?
My help comes from Yahweh,
    the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let you fall.
    Your guardian will not fall asleep.
Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.
Yahweh is your guardian.
    Yahweh is the shade over your right hand.
The sun will not beat down on you during the day,
    nor will the moon at night.
Yahweh guards you from every evil.
    He guards your life.
Yahweh guards you as you come and go,
    now and forever.

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?
(B)My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

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

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

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

تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ

121 أَرْفَعُ عَيْنَيَّ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ. مِنْ أَيْنَ يَأْتِي عَوْنِي؟ يَأْتِي عَوْنِي مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، صَانِعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ. لَا يَدَعُ قَدَمَكَ تَزِلُّ. لَا يَنْعَسُ حَافِظُكَ. لَا يَنْعَسُ وَلَا يَنَامُ حَافِظُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. الرَّبُّ هُوَ حَافِظُكَ، الرَّبُّ سِتْرٌ لَكَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ. لَنْ تَضْرِبَكَ الشَّمْسُ بِحَرِّهَا نَهَاراً وَلَا الْقَمَرُ بِنُورِهِ لَيْلاً. يَقِيكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ. يَقِي نَفْسَكَ. الرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُ ذِهَابَكَ وَإِيَابَكَ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.
