1A song of ascents.
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
1A Song for the Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills, from where my help does come.
2My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
2My help is from YHWH, the Maker of the heavens and the earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
3He will not give your foot to the slipping; the One guarding you will not slumber.
4Behold, the Protector of Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
4Behold, He does not slumber, and He does not sleep—the One guarding Israel.
5The LORD is your keeper;
the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
5YHWH is the One guarding you; YHWH is your shade on your right hand.
6The sun will not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
6By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon in the night.
7The LORD will guard you from all evil;
He will preserve your soul.
7YHWH will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul.
8The LORD will watch over your coming and going,
both now and forevermore.
8YHWH will guard your going out and your coming in, from now even to forever.
