Psalm 121

1 This Pſalme teacheth that the faithful oght onely to loke for helpe at God, 7 Who onely doeth mainteine, preſerue and proſper his Church
¶ A ſong of degrees.
1.IWill lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe ſhal come.
2.Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hathe made the heauen and the earth.
3.He wil not ſuffer thy fote to ſlippe: for he that kepeth thee, wil not ſlumber.
4.Beholde, he that kepeth Iſraél, wil nether ſlumber nor ſlepe.
5.The Lord is thy keper: the Lord is thy ſhadowe at thy right hand.
6.The ſunne ſhal not ſmite thee by daie, nor the moone by night.
7.The Lord ſhal preſerue thee from all euil: he ſhal kepe thy ſoule.
8.The Lord ſhal preſerue thy going out, and thy comming in from hence forthe and for euer.
