1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

Where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from Yahweh,

who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved.

He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Yahweh is your keeper.

Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

7 Yahweh will keep you from all evil.

He will keep your soul.

8 Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,

from this time forward, and forever more.

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Ek slaan my oë op na die berge: waar sal my hulp vandaan kom?

2 My hulp is van die HERE wat hemel en aarde gemaak het.

3 Hy kan jou voet nie laat wankel nie; jou Bewaarder kan nie sluimer nie.

4 Kyk, die Bewaarder van Israel sluimer of slaap nie.

5 Die HERE is jou Bewaarder; die HERE is jou skaduwee aan jou regterhand.

6 Die son sal jou bedags nie steek nie, die maan ook nie by nag nie.

7 Die HERE sal jou bewaar vir elke onheil; jou siel sal Hy bewaar.

8 Die HERE sal jou uitgang en jou ingang bewaar, van nou af tot in ewigheid.
