Psalm 121

This is one of the psalms I memorized as a child. Sadly, I can't quote it from memory these days... The psalter version that I always associate with this psalm is "Unto the Hills."


But in my recent obsession with all things Russian, I recently came upon a hauntingly beautiful rendition by Dmitry Bortniansky (1751-1825), his a cappella Choral Concerto No. 24 (I can't seem to embed the video directly, so follow the link).

My dear one, I don't know what difficulties you may be facing tonight. May the Lord strengthen you, encourage you, protect you, comfort you, guide you, and keep you ever in His love.
