| GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help? | 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? |
| 2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. | 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
| 3 He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep. | 3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; |
| 4 Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps. | 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. |
| 5 The LORD is your guardian. The LORD is the shade over your right hand. | 5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; |
| 6 The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at night. | 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. |
