The L ORD bless thee, and keep thee .
The blessing of the L ORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it—Thou, L ORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The L ORD is thy keeper: the L ORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The L ORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The L ORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore—I the L ORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept.
The L ORD shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
