English Standard Version ESV
The Message Bible MSG
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
1
I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?
2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
2
No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
3
He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
4
Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
5
God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you -
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
6
Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
7
God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life.
8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
8
He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now, he guards you always.
