Psalm 120

Numbered 120 in the Septuagint and Vulgate; Psalm 121 in most modern Bibles.

Levavi oculos. God is the keeper of his servants. A gradual canticle.

1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 May the Lord keep thy coming in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
