major. English. Psalm
121.
I will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my
help. My help cometh from
the Lord, which made
heaven and earth. 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
Lord is thy keeper: the
Lord is thy shade upon
thy right hand. The sun
shall not smite thee by
day, nor the moon by
night. 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. --Psalm
121, King James Version
Psalm 121, from the
canonical Book of Psalms,
is one of fifteen psalms
(meaning sacred song or
hymn) included in the
Songs of Ascents (Psalms
120-134). These powerful
texts about hope and
perseverance were likely
chanted by Jewish
pilgrims as they
traversed the ascending
road into Jerusalem,
which sits atop a hill
known as Mount Zion.
Thousands of years later,
the words of Psalm 121
continue to uplift and
inspire those afflicted
with pain, grief, or
suffering; one need only
look to the hills.
