English
Lift thine eyes, O lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence cometh, whence cometh, whence cometh help. Thy help cometh from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He hath said, “Thy foot shall not be moved. Thy keeper will never slumber, never, will never slumber, never slumber.” Lift thine eyes, O lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence cometh, whence cometh, whence cometh help, whence cometh, whence cometh, whence cometh help.
