1A Song for the Ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come?
2My help is from with YHWH, Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not give your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5YHWH is your keeper; YHWH is your shade upon your right hand.
6By day the sun shall not smite you, nor the moon by night.
7YHWH shall keep you from all evil; He shall keep your soul (nephesh).
8YHWH shall keep your going out and your coming in, from now and to forever.
