¹A song of ascents:

If I raise my eyes to the hills,

from where will my help come?

²My help comes from Adonai ,

the maker of heaven and earth.

³He will not let your foot slip —

your guardian is not asleep.

⁴No, the guardian of Isra’el

never slumbers or sleeps.

⁵Adonai is your guardian; at your right hand

Adonai provides you with shade —

⁶the sun can’t strike you during the day

or even the moon at night.

⁷Adonai will guard you against all harm;

he will guard your life.

⁸Adonai will guard your coming and going

from now on and forever.
