Noonday Prayer: Psalm 121

Psalm 121     

Levavi oculos

1    I lift up my eyes to the hills; *

from where is my help to come?

2    My help comes from the LORD, *

the maker of heaven and earth.

3    He will not let your foot be moved *

and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.

4    Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *

shall neither slumber nor sleep;

5    The LORD himself watches over you; *

the LORD is your shade at your right hand,

6    So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *

nor the moon by night.

7    The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; *

it is he who shall keep you safe.

8    The LORD shall watch over your going out and 

your coming in, *

 from this time forth for evermore.
