Psalme. 121.

Vnto the hils I lift my eyes, from whence my helpe shall grow;
Euē to the Lord which fram'd the heauens, & made the deeps below.
He will not let my feete to slip, my watchman neither sleepes.
Behold the Lord of Israell still his flocke in safety keepes.
The Lord is my defence, he doth about me shadow cast;
By day nor night, the Sunne nor Moone, my limbs shall burne or blast.
He shall preserue me from all ill, and me from sinne protect;
My going in and comming forth, he euer shall direct.
