Words: The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, 1887 ed.

Note: This page also has a 7's Metre version of this psalm.

   1  I To the hills will lift mine eyes,
         From whence doth come mine aid.
      My safety cometh from the Lord,
         Who heav'n and earth hath made.

   2  Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
         he slumber that thee keeps.
      Behold, he that keeps Israel,
         He slumbers not, nor sleeps.

   3  The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
         On thy right hand doth stay:
      The moon by night thee shall not smite,
         Nor yet the sun by day.

   4  The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shah
         Preserve thee from all ill.
      Henceforth thy going out and in
         God keep forever will.

 "Vail," J.M. Evans, arr. H.H.P. Main, 1868

   1  To the hills I'll lift mine eyes,
      Whence my hopes of succor rise;
      From the Lord comes all my aid,
      Who the earth and heav'n hath made.

   2  He will ever be thy guide,
      And thy foot shall never slide;
      God his Israel that keeps,
      Never slumbers, never sleeps.

   3  God thy keeper still shall stand,
      As a shade on thy right hand;
      Neither sun by day shall smite,
      Nor the silent moon by night.

   4  God shall guard from every ill,
      Keep thy soul in safety still;
      Both without and in thy door,
      He will keep thee evermore.
