| 1 | A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me. |
| 2 | My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
| 3 | May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you. |
| 4 | Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber. |
| 5 | The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand. |
| 6 | The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night. |
| 7 | The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul. |
| 8 | May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever. |
