JPS Tanakh 1917 - A Song of Ascents

1I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains:

From whence shall my help come?

2My help cometh from the LORD, 

Who made heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved;

He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4Behold, He that keepeth Israel

Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is thy keeper;

The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day,

Nor the moon by night.

7The LORD shall keep thee from all evil;

He shall keep thy soul.

8The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in,

From this time forth and for ever.

Sing praise to God who reigns above, 

the God of all creation, 

the God of power, the God of love, 

the God of our salvation. 

With healing balm my soul is filled 

and every faithless murmur stilled: 

To God all praise and glory.
