| The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help. | 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? |
| 2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. | 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
| 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. | 3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; |
| 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. | 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. |
| 5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand. | 5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; |
| 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. | 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. |
| 7 The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul. | 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life; |
| 8 The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever. | 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. |
