Psalm 121—Four Translations
Sidebar to: The Torah, The Prophets and The Writings—A New Jewish Translation
New Jewish Publication Society Version (NJPS)
I turn my eyes to the mountains;
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD
maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot give way;
your guardian will not slumber.
See, the guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps!
The LORD is your guardian,
the LORD is your protection at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will guard you from all harm;
He will guard your life.
The LORD will guard your going and coming
now and forever.
New English Bible (NEB)
If I lift up my eyes to the hills,
where shall I find help?
Help comes only from the LORD,
maker of heaven and earth.
How could he let your foot stumble?
How could he, your guardian, sleep?
The guardian of Israel
never slumbers, never sleeps.
The LORD is your guardian,
your defense at your right hand;
the sun will not strike you by day
nor the moon by night.
