| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
|
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?
|
|
2 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
|
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
|
|
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
|
3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber;
|
|
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
|
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
|
|
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
|
5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
|
|
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
|
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
|
|
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
|
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;
|
|
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
|
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
