Psalm 121 — I lift up my eyes to the mountains
Levavi oculos (Ps 120/121)
Αυτή η προσευχή δεν έχει ακόμη μεταφραστεί στη γλώσσα σας· εμφανίζεται στα αγγλικά. Το Πνεύμα την ακούει έτσι κι αλλιώς.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains: from where shall come my help? My help shall come from the Lord who made heaven and earth. He will keep your foot from stumbling; your guard will never slumber. No, He sleeps not nor slumbers, Israel's guard. The Lord is your guard and your shade; at your right side He stands. By day the sun shall not smite you nor the moon in the night. The Lord will guard you from evil; He will guard your soul. The Lord will guard your going and coming, both now and for ever.
Πότε λέγεται αυτή η προσευχή
Before a journey — it is a pilgrim song, sung on the road up to Jerusalem — and by parents whose children are far away.
