The fifth book of Psalms, song 121, New English Translation and King James Version

Psalm 121

New English Translation

A song of ascents.

   1 I look up toward the hills. From where does my help come?
   2 My help comes from the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth!
   3 May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep!
   4 Look! Israel's protector does not sleep or slumber!
   5 The LORD is your protector; the LORD is the shade at your right hand.
   6 The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night.
   7 The LORD will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life.
   8 The LORD will protect you in all you do, now and forevermore.

King James Version

A Song of degrees.

   1 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.
