1

A song of ascents. 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.
