Psalms - Chapter 121
| The King James Version | Basic English Version (BBE) |
|
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. |
1 <A Song of the going up.> My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from? |
|
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. |
2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
|
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. |
3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you. |
|
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. |
4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep. |
|
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. |
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. |
|
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. |
6 You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night. |
|
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. |
7 The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul. |
|
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. |
8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever. |
