ESAH EINAI (Shir lama'alot) (Transliteration)
Esah einai el heharim, meayin yavo ezri?
Ezri me'im Adonai oseh shamayim va'aretz.
Al yiten lamot raglecha, al yanum shomrecha.
Hineh lo yanum - v'lo yishan shomer yisrael.
Adonai shomrecha, Adonai tzilecha, al yad yeminecha.
Yomam hashemesh lo yakeka, vayareich baleilah
Adonai yishmarcha mikol ra, yishmor et nafshecha.
Adonai yishmor tzietcha uvoecha meata vead olam. | PSALM 121 A SONG OF ASCENT
I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip he who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you: the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life;
The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. |
Hebrew text
שִׁיר לַמַּעֲלוֹת.
אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי, אֶל-הֶהָרִים, מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי.
עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יְהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
אַל יִתֵּן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֶךָ, אַל יָנוּם שֹׁמְרֶךָ.
הִנֵּה לֹא יָנוּם, וְלֹא יִישָׁן שׁוֹמֵר יִשְׂרָאֵל.
יְהוָה שֹׁמְרֶךָ, יְהוָה צִלְּךָ, עַל יַד יְמִינֶךָ.
יוֹמָם הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לֹא יַכֶּכָּה ויָרֵחַ בַּלָּיְלָה.
יְהוָה יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל-רָע יִשְׁמֹר אֶת נַפְשֶׁךָ.
יְהוָה יִשְׁמָר צֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֶךָ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם.
