Song of Ascents

[linaewen]

This is a favorite passages of mine; it was always encouraging to me when I was worrying about traveling internationally, waiting for visas to enter or leave Pakistan, driving on impossibly dangerous roads...

I still do a lot of coming and going these days, especially this week; since I am feeling the need for this encouraging word today, I put this up for myself:


A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Psalm 121

I love that one as well. So comforting and encouraging. I don't think I'd know what to do without that promise to support me...

I love your icon too - gorgeous!! (((Boromir & Linaewen)))
