1 A Song of Degrees.

I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains,

Whence my help shall come.

2 My help shall come from the Lord,

Who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Let not thy foot be moved;

And let not thy keeper slumber.

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel

Shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord shall keep thee:

The Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not burn thee by day,

Neither the moon by night.

7 May the Lord preserve thee from all evil:

The Lord shall keep thy soul.

8 The Lord shall keep thy coming in, and thy going out,

From henceforth and even forever.
