121 Canticum graduum. Laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.

Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israel, ad confitendum nomini Domini.

Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David.

Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, et abundantia diligentibus te.

Fiat pax in virtute tua, et abundantia in turribus tuis.

Propter fratres meos et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(A) and earth.(B)

He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches(C) over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over(D) you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun(E) will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm(F)
    he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.(G)
