Vulgate (Psalm 120)

Latin text

1 Levavi oculos meos in montes : unde veniet auxilium mihi.

2 Auxilium meum a Domino : qui fecit caelum et terram.

3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum : neque dormitet qui custodit te.

4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet : qui custodit Israel.

5 Dominus custodit te : Dominus protectio tua, super manum dexteram tuam.

6 Per diem sol non uret te : neque luna per noctem.

7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo : custodiat animam tuam Dominus.

8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum : ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills : from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh even from the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.

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

5 The Lord himself is thy keeper : the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand;

6 So that the sun shall not burn thee by day : neither the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in : from this time forth for evermore.
