I lift up my eyes to the mountains

1
When we travel toward Jerusalem, I look up toward the hills and I ask myself, “Who will help me?”
2
My answer is that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
3
He will not allow us to fall; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.
4
The one who protects us Israelite people never gets sleepy or sleeps.
5
Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade that protects us from the sun.
6
He will not allow the sun to harm us during the day, and he will not allow the moon to harm us during the night.
7
Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.
8
He will protect us from the time that we leave our houses in the morning until we return in the evening; he will protect us now and he will protect us forever.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains

1
I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2
My help comes from the LORD, 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
The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7
The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
