1 Cantique des degrés. Je lève mes yeux vers les montagnes... D'où me viendra le secours?

2 Le secours me vient de l'Eternel, Qui a fait les cieux et la terre.

3 Il ne permettra point que ton pied chancelle; Celui qui te garde ne sommeillera point.

4 Voici, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, Celui qui garde Israël.

5 L'Eternel est celui qui te garde, L'Eternel est ton ombre à ta main droite.

6 Pendant le jour le soleil ne te frappera point, Ni la lune pendant la nuit.

7 L'Eternel te gardera de tout mal, Il gardera ton âme;

8 L'Eternel gardera ton départ et ton arrivée, Dès maintenant et à jamais.

1 A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

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

3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
