A Song of degrees.
1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.121.1 I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?
2My help cometh from the LORD, which 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 shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Under Herrens beskyttelse
1En valfartssang.
„Jeg løfter mit blik mod bjergene.
Hvorfra kommer min hjælp?
2Fra Herren kommer min hjælp,
fra himlens og jordens Skaber!”
3„Herren sørger for, at du ikke snubler.
Han, som passer på dig, sover aldrig.
4Han, som værner om Israel,
falder aldrig i søvn.
5Herren er den, der beskytter dig,
du kan gemme dig bag ved ham.
6Han holder hånden over dig om dagen,
om natten er du tryg hos ham.
7Herren bevarer dig fra alt ondt,
han våger over dit liv.
8Han værner om dig, hvor du end er,
nu og til evig tid.”
