1 I look up toward the mountains.

Where can I find help?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

the maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let you fall.

Your guardian will not fall asleep.

4 Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.

5 The Lord is your guardian.

The Lord is the shade over your right hand.

6 The sun will not beat down on you during the day,

nor will the moon at night.

7 The Lord guards you from every evil.

He guards your life.

8 The Lord guards you as you come and go,

now and forever.
