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

Jehovah is your keeper; Jehovah is your shade on your right hand.

Jehovah shall keep you from all evil; He shall keep your soul.

Jehovah shall keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

where the tribes go up, the tribes of Jehovah, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

For there were set the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Peace be within your walls, blessings within your palaces.

Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek your good.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters; as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait on Jehovah our God, until He shall have mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, O Jehovah, have mercy on us; for we are exceedingly filled with scorn.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the contempt of those who are at ease, with the scorn of the proud.

then the waters would have flowed over us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made the heavens and earth.

As the mountains are all around Jerusalem, so Jehovah is all around His people from this time and forever.

A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things with them.

Great things did Jehovah to work with us and we are glad.
