Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
1I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
2Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
3Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
4For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
5Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
6The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
6Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
7The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
7Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
8The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
8For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
