Chapter 120

God is the keeper of his servants.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle.

2. 2

   My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3. 3

   May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4. 4

   Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5. 5

   The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection, upon thy right hand.

6. 6

   The sun shall not burn thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7. 7

   The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8. 8

   May the Lord keep thy coming in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
