Chapter 121

1. A song of ascents. I lift my eyes to the mountains-from where will my help come?
2. My help will come from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.
3. He will not let your foot falter; your guardian does not slumber.
4. Indeed, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
5. The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your protective shade at your right hand.
6. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7. The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul.
8. The Lord will guard your going and your coming from now and for all time.

Say it in Hebrew…say it in English. Say it aloud or whisper it to yourself. Please, please – just say it and pray for the return of our boys. Our soldiers are doing their part – searching for our boys. The government is doing its part – reaching out politically, supporting the families, etc. The communities where the families live are doing their part – they are bringing food, visiting and staying close, almost around the clock. They are supporting them, surrounding them with love…now here’s something we can do. It costs nothing…just read a few lines of text and think good thoughts. Pray for their return.

On this, the nation of Israel stands. Am Yisrael Chai…
