121:1 A song of ascents. ² 

I look up ³  toward the hills.

From where ⁴  does my help come?

the Creator ⁶  of heaven and earth!

121:3 May he not allow your foot to slip!

May your protector ⁷  not sleep! ⁸ 

121:4 Look! Israel’s protector ⁹ 

does not sleep or slumber!

121:5 The Lord is your protector;

the Lord is the shade at your right hand.

121:6 The sun will not harm you by day,

or the moon by night. ¹⁰ 

121:7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;

he will protect your life.

121:8 The Lord will protect you in all you do, ¹¹ 

now and forevermore.
