¹I to the hills will lift mine eyes,

from whence doth come mine aid.

²My safety cometh from the Lord,

who heav'n and earth hath made.

³Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will

he slumber that thee keeps.

⁴Behold, he that keeps Israel,

he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

⁵The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade

on thy right hand doth stay:

⁶The moon by night thee shall not smite,

nor yet the sun by day.

⁷The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall

preserve thee from all ill.

⁸Henceforth thy going out and in

God keep for ever will.
