Psalm 121

Psalms: 121

A Song of Ascents.

My Help Cometh even from the Lord.  Psalm 121(v120)

1I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From whence does my help come?
2My help comes from Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.

3He will not let your foot be moved,
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5Yahweh is your keeper;
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
6The sun shall not smite you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7Yahweh will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and for evermore.

This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
