New Living Translation NLT
1 I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?
1
I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?
2 No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
2
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!
3 He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep.
3
He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep.
4
Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you -
5
The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.
6
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
7 God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life.
7
The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
8 He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now, he guards you always.
8
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
