The LORD the Keeper of Israel.

A Song of Ascents.

1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
          From where shall my help come?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
          Who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip;
          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 smite you by day,
          Nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will protect you from all evil;
          He will keep your soul.

8 The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
          From this time forth and forever.
