Psalm 120 [MT 121]

  • Song of Ascent
1

[A Song of Degrees.] I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

᾿ῼδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. - ΗΡΑ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου εἰς τὰ ὄρη, ὅθεν ἥξει ἡ βοήθειά μου.

2

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ Κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

3

Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.

μὴ δῴης εἰς σάλον τὸν πόδα σου, μηδὲ νυστάξῃ ὁ φυλάσσων σε.

4

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

ἰδοὺ οὐ νυστάξει οὐδὲ ὑπνώσει ὁ φυλάσσων τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

5

The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.

Κύριος φυλάξει σε, Κύριος σκέπη σοι ἐπὶ χεῖρα δεξιάν σου·

6

The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

ἡμέρας ὁ ἥλιος οὐ συγκαύσει σε, οὐδὲ ἡ σελήνη τὴν νύκτα.

7

May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.

Κύριος φυλάξει σε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ, φυλάξει τὴν ψυχήν σου ὁ Κύριος.

8

The Lord shall keep thy coming in, and thy going out, from henceforth and even for ever.

Κύριος φυλάξει τὴν εἴσοδόν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
