117. I Lift up My Eyes to the Mountains

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
whence shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
May God never let you stumble!
The protector of Israel
sleeps not nor slumbers.

2 The Lord is your guard and your shade,
standing at your right side.
By day the sun shall not smite you
nor the moon in the night.
God protects you from all danger,
and guards your soul as you come and go
now and forever.
