1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

*I'll look to the mountains for help, because that's where my strength comes from.

2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

*My help comes from the Lord, who created the sky and the ground.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

*He won't let your foot slip; the one watching over you doesn't sleep.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

*Look, the one who watches over Israel won't doze off or rest.

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

*The Lord protects you; the Lord provides shade for you, like a hand shielding from the sun.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

*The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor will the moon at night.

7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

*The Lord will protect you from everything bad; He will keep your spirit safe.

8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

*The Lord will protect you when you leave and when you return, forever starting now.
