1A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

8The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
