1“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

2My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

5The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

6By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

7The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

8The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
