²¹ And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

²⁸ Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yes, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldst not be satisfied.

¹ I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

² My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

³ He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

⁴ Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

⁶ The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷ Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

⁸ Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore. A Song of Ascents. By David.
