1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help? 2 My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber. 4 Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life. 8 The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
