Psalm 121 (Levavi oculos)
I lift up my eyes to the hills; * from where is my help to come? My help comes from the LORD, * the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved * and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep; The LORD himself watches over you; * the LORD is your shade at your right hand, So that the sun shall not strike you by day, * nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; * it is he who shall keep you safe. The LORD shall watch over your going out and your coming in, * from this time forth for evermore.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
