The Traveler's Psalm
"/will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. From whence cometh my kelp? Ai)' help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not su_ffer thyfoot to be moved; he who keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold. kg who keepeth Isreal shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand . The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall presenJe thy going out and th_'V coming infrom this timeforth, and evenfor evermore.
