Psalm 121 (called “A Song of Ascent” in the prayer book) is a psalm that invokes protection. My adaptation broadens the implied recipients of God’s protection, with the hope for protection of all innocents in the Middle East in this time of war. It is a promise of safety that the singers do not have the authority to give—the repetitions of “Adonai” reveal it to be a plea. Commissioned by the 14th Street Y for performance by Ayden Holzkenner, Katherine Doe Morse, & Karen Siegel.
