George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 120:8 · Douay-Rheims
“May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.”
On this verse:
“Coming in. Hebrew has, “going out,” first. (Berthier) — Yet Pagnin agrees with us. (Haydock) — This expression denotes all the occurrences of life, Deuteronomy xxviii. 6. (Calmet) — We may discover a beautiful progression in this psalm; God protects us from each and from every danger. (Berthier) — He is not like earthly friends, who have not always the will or the power to do it. (St. Chrysostom) Bible Text & Cross-references: God is the keeper of his servants. 1 A gradual canticle. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me. 2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee. 4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel. 5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection, upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not burn thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul. 8 May the Lord keep thy coming in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
