A Song of Degrees

Verse 1

I to those mountains lift mine eyes, from whence must come mine aid:

Verse 2

Mine help must from JEHOVAH come, who heav'n and earth has made.

Verse 3

He will not let thy foot be mov'd, nor slumber who thee keeps:

Verse 4

Lo, He who keeps his Israel, He slumbers not, nor sleeps.

Verse 5

The LORD thy keeper is; the LORD thy shade on thy right hand:

Verse 6

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor moon by night offend.

Verse 7

JEHOVAH will preserve thy soul; he'll keep thee from all ill:

Verse 8

Thy going out and coming in, the LORD keep ever will.
