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.

Zu den Bergen hebet sich ein Augenpaar
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Zu den Bergen hebet
Sich ein Augenpaar,
Von den Bergen schwebet 
Hülfe wunderbar.
Meine Hülfe kommt vom Herrn, 
Der da Sonne, Mond und Stern, 
Himmel und Erde gemacht hat. 

Jeden meiner Schritte
Hält der Herr in Hut,
Schützt bei Tages Mitte
Mich vor Sonnenglut.
Und des Nachts bei Sternenschein, 
Schlummre, Herz, nur sicher ein, 
Der dich behütet, er schläft nicht.
