I lift my eyes unto the hills.
From where comes help when I’m afraid?
From Yahweh is my hope fulfilled,
The One from whom the world is made.
He spares my foot to slip or swell,
And guards on paths though sheer and steep.
He shepherds those of Israel,
For my God’s eyes don’t close or sleep!
The Lord my God is who protects.
At my right hand, shade He provides,
And sun-rays have no ill effect,
Nor, circling high, the moon He guides.
From evil ones, the Lord stands guard.
My safety He will not ignore.
For God keeps watch – though life goes hard –
On this day til forevermore!
