Psaumes 121

1Cantique pour les montées. Je lève les yeux vers les montagnes : d’où me viendra le secours ?

2Mon secours viendra de Yahweh, qui a fait le ciel et la terre.

3Il ne permettra pas que ton pied trébuche ; celui qui te garde ne sommeillera pas.

4Non, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, celui qui garde Israël.

5Yahweh est ton gardien ; Yahweh est ton abri, toujours à ta droite.

6Pendant le jour le soleil ne te frappera point, ni la lune pendant la nuit.

7Yahweh te gardera de tout mal, il gardera ton âme :

8Yahweh gardera ton départ et ton arrivée maintenant et à jamais.

1Canticum graduum. [Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.

2Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.

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

4Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.

5Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.

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

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

8Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.]

1I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

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

5The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
