Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD,
    • B 2 which made heaven and earth.
      • C 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
        • D 3 he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
          • E 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
        • D' 5 The LORD is thy keeper:
      • C' 5 the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
    • B' 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
  • A' 7-8 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
