Psalms 121 YLT
Summary: A beloved Song of Ascents built on the image of a pilgrim looking toward the hills surrounding Jerusalem, opening "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" (v. 1), then answering that help comes not from the hills themselves but "from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (v. 2). It repeatedly stresses God's unceasing watchfulness — "he that keepeth thee will not slumber... he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (v. 3-4) — promising protection from sun by day and moon by night. It closes assuring that the LORD will preserve the traveler's "going out and thy coming in, from this time forth, and even for evermore" (v. 8).
1A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
2My help is from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
3He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
4Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
5Jehovah is thy preserver, Jehovah is thy shade on thy right hand,
6By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
7Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
8Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
