1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6και ευθηνια τοιϲ αγαπωϲιν ϲε ερωτηϲατε δη τα ειϲ ειρηνην τη ϊηλμʼ · 7γενεϲθω δη ειρηνη ϲου εν τη δυναμει ϲου και ευθηνια εν τοιϲ πυργοβαρεϲιν ϲου 8ενεκα των αδελφων μου και των πληϲιον μου ελαλουν δε ειρηνην περι ϲου 9ενεκα του οικου κυ του θυ ημων εξεζητηϲα ϲοι
6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
