1 I look to the hills*—but is that where my help comes from?

2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
