the LORD guards your going and coming

¹A song of ascents. I look up to the mountains. Where will my help come from? ²My help is from the LORD, the one who made heaven and earth. ³May he never let your foot stumble; may the one who guards you never doze. ⁴Indeed, the one who guards Israel never dozes off and never sleeps. ⁵The LORD is the one who guards you; The LORD is shade at your right side. ⁶By day the sun will not beat down on you, and by night the moon will do you no harm. ⁷The LORD will guard you against every harm; he will guard your very life. ⁸The LORD will guard you as you set out and as you return, from now on and for all time.
