Sálmarnir 121
Icelandic Bible
121 Ég hef augu mín til fjallanna: Hvaðan kemur mér hjálp?
2 Hjálp mín kemur frá Drottni, skapara himins og jarðar.
3 Hann mun eigi láta fót þinn skriðna, vörður þinn blundar ekki.
4 Nei, hann blundar ekki og sefur ekki, hann, vörður Ísraels.
5 Drottinn er vörður þinn, Drottinn skýlir þér, hann er þér til hægri handar.
6 Um daga mun sólarhitinn eigi vinna þér mein, né heldur tunglið um nætur.
7 Drottinn mun vernda þig fyrir öllu illu, hann mun vernda sál þína.
8 Drottinn mun varðveita útgöngu þína og inngöngu héðan í frá og að eilífu.
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.
