Psal. 121. Levavi oculos.
Canticum Graduum.
1
Up to the Hills I lift mine eies,from whence will come mine aide:
2
From, with the Lord come my supplies,which Heavens and Earth hath laid.
3
He will not suffer thee to slide,thy foot to tread awry:
He will not give, that slumber hide
thy keepers wakefull eye.
4
Loe, him that keepeth Israel,shall Israels keeper keep,
That on his eye no slumber dwell,
his eye-lid lodge no sleep.
5
The Lord, the Lord thy keeper is,his helpe's at thy right hand,
To shade thee, spread those wings of his,
to lead thee, ready stand.
6
So thee, with scorching heat by day,the Sun-beames shall not smite;
Nor shall the Moon thy vigour slay,
with vapours of the night.
7
The Lord shall thy preserver be,that thou no evill have;
And keep thy soule, that over thee
no sting be in the grave.
8
Yea, goe thou out, or come thou in,the Lord shall keep the doore;
Be with thee from thou dost begin,
protect thee evermore.
