1 I lift up mine eyes to the mountains,
I look to Jehovah for aid;
My help is the Lord God Almighty;
The earth and the heavens He made.
2 His vigil is tender and constant,
And watchful the care that He keeps;
He suffers no harm to befall thee
And nods not, nor slumbers, nor sleeps.
3 The Keeper of Israel guards thee
And keeps thee in pathways of right;
He circles His canopy round thee
For shelter by day and by night.
4 Jehovah will keep thee from evil,
Thy coming and going He knows;
Thy soul He preserves unimperiled;
Look thou to the hills for repose.
