שִׁיר, לַמַּעֲלוֹת:
אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי, אֶל-הֶהָרִים, מֵאַיִן, יָבֹא עֶזְרִי.
עֶזְרִי, מֵעִם יְהוָה, עֹשֵׂה, שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
אַל-יִתֵּן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֶךָ, אַל-יָנוּם, שֹׁמְרֶךָ.
הִנֵּה לֹא-יָנוּם, וְלֹא יִישָׁן, שׁוֹמֵר, יִשְׂרָאֵל.
יְהוָה שֹׁמְרֶךָ; יְהוָה צִלְּךָ, עַל-יַד יְמִינֶךָ.
יוֹמָם, הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לֹא-יַכֶּכָּה, וְיָרֵחַ בַּלָּיְלָה.
יְהוָה, יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל-רָע, יִשְׁמֹר, אֶת-נַפְשֶׁךָ.
יְהוָה, יִשְׁמָר-צֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֶךָ, מֵעַתָּה, וְעַד-עוֹלָם.
A song, to the heights:
I will raise my eyes, to the mountains, from where, my help will come.
Help, with God, maker of heaven and earth.
May Hashem not give you a footstool, may Hashem protect you.
Behold, he will not rest, nor will he sleep, a guardian of Israel.
Hashem protects you; Hashem is your shield, your right hand.
Their day, the sun will not shine, and the moon will shine at night.
May Hashem protect you from all evil, may he protect your soul.
Hashem will protect your coming and going, from now on and forever.
/Shir La'Ma'alot. (A song to the heights.)
Shir La'Ma'alot is usually sung when praying over someone's soul, mostly in funerals. Lately it's been stuck in my head and I wanted to add it here.
