A gradual Canticle. I have lifted up mine eyes unto the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.A gradual Canticle. I HAVE lifted vp mine eies vnto a the mountaines, b from whence helpe ſhal come to me.Canticum graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
2My help is from our Lord, who made heaven and earth.My helpe is from our Lord, who made heauen and earth.Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
3Give he not thy foot to be commotionem: relocated; shaken from its place, made to slip: neither do he slumber that keepeth thee.Geue he not c thy foote to be moued : neither doe he ſlumber that keepeth thee.Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
4Lo he shall not slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.Loe he ſhal not ſlumber nor ſleepe, that kepeth d Iſrael.Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
5Our lord keepeth thee, our Lord is thy protection, upon thy right hand.Our lord kepeth thee, our Lord is thy protection, vpon thy right hand.Dominus custodit te ; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
6By day the sun shall not burn thee: nor the moon by night.By day e the ſunne ſhal not burne thee : nor f the moone by night.Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
7Our Lord doth keep thee from all evil: our Lord keep thy soul.Our Lord doth kepe thee from al euil : our Lord kepe g thy ſoule.Dominus custodit te ab omni malo ; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
8Our Lord keep thy coming in, and thy going out: from henceforth now, and for ever.Our Lord kepe thy coming in, and thy going out : from hence forth now, and for euer.Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
