Text Translation

I. I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
He that keepeth thee will not slumber nor sleep.
The sun will not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from evil. The Lord shall preserve
the soul!
—Psalm 121
