Catholic Public Domain Version 2009

- Chapter 121 -

I lift up my eyes to the mountains

1
A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
2
My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3
May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
4
Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
5
The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
6
The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
7
The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
8
May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
