Psalmus 120 (121)
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  DUT
1 [Canticum graduum.] 
  Levavi oculos meos in montes,
  unde veniet auxilium mihi.
2 Auxilium meum a Domino,
  qui fecit cælum et terram.
3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum,
  neque dormitet qui custodit te.
4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet
  qui custodit Israël.
5 Dominus custodit te;
  Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
6 Per diem sol non uret te,
  neque luna per noctem.
7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo;
  custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum,
  ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

W. Byrd sets line 2

A song of trust
 (Sung text for setting by C. Stanford)
 See original
Language: English  after the Latin 
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
  from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh even from the LORD,
  who hath made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
  and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
  shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD himself is thy keeper:
  The Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand; 
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: 
  Yea, it is even He that shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in 
  from this time forth for evermore..

Composition:

    Set to music by Charles Villiers Stanford, Sir (1852 - 1924), "A song of trust", op. 113 no. 2 [ baritone, organ ], from Bible Songs, no. 2
