Default A Reflection on Psalm 121

VARIATION ON PSALM 121 OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE BIBLE :banghead:

There is in the Baha’i writings a strong flavour of the King James version of The Bible. I have taken one of the Hidden Words(Persian,44) and flavoured this old Psalm with some of its content.
-Ron Price, 4:10 pm, 11 September 1996, Rivervale, Western Australia.


I will lift mine eyes unto the mountain: from whence cometh my Lord.
My help cometh from my Lord: who hath made me what I am.
He protects my going out and my coming in and what is both
above and below mine eyes.
His home is the earth and all that is therein: though His hand
lies especially over the Holy Land.
He helps me to keep my thoughts pure and my nature sanctified
So that free and content I can put away this mortal frame
and abide in His Kingdom for evermore.
But alas: I am not worthy, so heedless am I.

Catch the wind and hold it in your hand.
