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.

Ich hebe meine Augen auf zu den Bergen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
1 [Ein Lied im höhern Chor.] Ich hebe meine Augen auf zu den Bergen, von [welchen]1 mir [Hilfe kommt]2. 2 Meine [Hilfe kommt]2 von dem [Herrn]3, der Himmel und Erde gemacht hat. 3 Er wird deinen Fuß nicht gleiten lassen, und der dich behütet, schläft nicht. 4 Siehe, der Hüter Israels schläft noch schlummert nicht. 5 Der Herr behütet dich, der Herr ist dein Schatten über deiner rechten Hand, 6 daß dich des Tages die Sonne nicht steche noch der Mond des Nachts. 7 Der Herr behüte dich vor allem Übel, er behüte deine Seele. 8 Der Herr behüte deinen Ausgang und Eingang von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.
L. Meinardus sets lines 1-3, 7-8
