Lyrics

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
From whence cometh my help.
My help cometh even from the Lord,
Who hath made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved
And he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord himself is thy keeper,
The Lord is thy defense upon thy right hand.
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day,
Neither the moon by night.
The Lord himself is thy keeper,
The Lord is thy defense upon thy right hand.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil.
Yea, it is he, even he that shall keep thy soul.
