MSB Audio · Psalms 121
Majority Standard Bible
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4 Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8 The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
KJV
1 ¶ A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
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.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
God a keeper of men.
1 A song in the higher chorus. I lift up my eyes to the mountains, from which help comes to me.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He shall not suffer thy foot to slip: and he that keepeth thee shall not sleep.
4 Behold, the keeper of Israel sleepeth not yet.
5 The LORD keep thee: the LORD is thy shadow over thy right hand,
6 That the sun sting thee not by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD keep thee from all evil: he keep thy soul. Peor and ate of the sacrifices of the dead idols
8 The LORD keep thy going out, and thy coming in, from henceforth even for ever.
