1A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?

2My help [comes] from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

3He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.

4Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.
