Psalm 121

Langs de pelgrimsroute van Jericho naar Jeruzalem (januari 2012)

A Pilgrim Song (The Message)

1-2 I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

3-4 He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep. Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep. 

5-6 God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you— Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke. 

7-8 God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life. He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now, he guards you always.

We zijn pelgrims en dit deel van onze reis voert door de woestijn. Peinzen over de pelgrimspsalmen geeft nieuwe kracht. Shir hamma'alot, Frodo's elfenbrood.
