1My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?
2Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
4See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

7The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.
8The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
