1 (Shir HaMa’alot)

I will lift up mine eyes unto the harim (hills),

from whence cometh ezri (my help).

2 Ezri (my help) cometh from Hashem,

Oseh Shomayim va’Aretz.

3 He will not allow thy regel to slip;

He that is shomer over thee will not slumber.

4 Hinei, He that is shomer over Yisroel

shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Hashem is the One shomer over thee;

Hashem is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The shemesh shall not strike thee by day,

nor the yarei’ach by night.

7 Hashem shall preserve thee from kol rah;

He shall preserve thy nefesh.

8 Hashem shall be shomer over thy going out and thy coming in

from this time forth, and even v’ad olam.
