121 As I travel, I look up towards the hills.
I will find no help there.
2 My help comes from the Lord .
He made the heaven and the earth.
3 He will take care of you,
so that you do not fall.
The one who keeps you safe will not sleep.
4 Yes! The Lord keeps Israel's people safe.
He never gets tired or sleeps at all!
5 The Lord is the one who keeps you safe.
He is very near to you.
He will give you shade from the hot sun.
6 The hot sun will not hurt you in the daytime.
At night, the moon cannot hurt you.
7 The Lord is the one who takes care of you in all danger.
He keeps your life safe.
8 Whatever you do and wherever you go,
the Lord will always keep you safe,
now and for ever.
121 I look up to the hills,
but where will my help really come from?
2 My help will come from the Lord ,
the Creator of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let you fall.
Your Protector will not fall asleep.
4 Israel’s Protector does not get tired.
He never sleeps.
5 The Lord is your Protector.
The Lord stands by your side, shading and protecting you.
6 The sun cannot harm you during the day,
and the moon cannot harm you at night.
7 The Lord will protect you from every danger.
He will protect your soul.
8 The Lord will protect you as you come and go, [ a ]
both now and forever!
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord , which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
121 I will ( A ) raise my eyes to ( B ) the mountains;
From where will my help come?
2 My ( C ) help comes from the Lord ,
Who ( D ) made heaven and earth.
3 He will not ( E ) allow your foot to slip;
He who ( F ) watches over you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who watches over Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your [ a ] ( G ) protector;
The Lord is your ( H ) shade on your right hand.
6 The ( I ) sun will not [ b ] beat down on you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will [ c ] ( J ) protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
8 The Lord will [ d ] ( K ) guard your going out and your coming in
( L ) From this time and forever.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord ,
the Maker of heaven ( A ) and earth. ( B )
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches ( C ) over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
