Psalm 121 — I to the Hills Will Lift Mine Eyes

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Tune: FRENCH Psalm 121 Scottish Psalter (1650)

Psalm Text

I to the hills will lift mine eyes,

From whence doth come mine aid.

My safety cometh from the Lord,

Who heaven and earth hath made.

Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will

He slumber that thee keeps.

Behold, he that keeps Israel,

He slumbers not, nor sleeps.

The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade

On thy right hand doth stay:

The moon by night thee shall not smite,

Nor yet the sun by day.

The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall

Preserve thee from all ill.

Henceforth thy going out and in

God keep for ever will.
