121:1 A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover]. I ·look up [L raise my eyes] to the hills [C the hills surrounding Zion, the location of the Temple], but where does my help come from?

121:3 He will not let ·you be defeated [L your feet be moved/slip]. He who ·guards [watches] you never sleeps.
121:4 He who ·guards [watches] Israel never ·rests [sleeps] or ·sleeps [slumbers].
121:5 The Lord ·guards [watches] you. The Lord is the shade ·that protects you from the sun [L at your hand, your right hand; 91:1].
121:6 The sun cannot ·hurt [L strike] you during the day, and the moon cannot ·hurt [L strike] you at night.
121:7 The Lord will ·protect [guard; watch] you from all ·dangers [trouble; evil]; he will ·guard [watch] your life.
121:8 The Lord will ·guard [watch] you as you come and go, both now and forever.
