1 Up to the hills I lift my eyes and ponder:
whence shall my help arise?
From God the Lord, who made the mountains yonder
and all the earth and skies.

2 He'll hold you fast and keep your feet from stumbling:
unwearied watch he keeps;
Israel's guard, indeed, is never slumbering:
he neither tires nor sleeps.

3 He keeps you safe: the Lord's unseen resources
shield and protect each one;
he shades you from the moon's mysterious forces
and from the noonday sun.

4 He'll keep your soul from every kind of danger,
guarding you with his power
in all your ways, at home or where a stranger,
now and for evermore.
