120A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

2My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

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

5The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

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

7The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

8May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
