1. [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to the mountains; where is my help to come from?

2. My help comes from Yahweh who made heaven and earth.

3. May he save your foot from stumbling; may he, your guardian, not fall asleep!

4. You see -- he neither sleeps nor slumbers, the guardian of Israel.

5. Yahweh is your guardian, your shade, Yahweh, at your right hand.

6. By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night.

7. Yahweh guards you from all harm Yahweh guards your life,

8. Yahweh guards your comings and goings, henceforth and for ever.





“Que Maria sempre enfeite sua alma com as flores e o perfume de novas virtudes e coloque a mão materna sobre sua cabeça. Fique sempre e cada vez mais perto de nossa Mãe celeste, pois ela é o mar que deve ser atravessado para se atingir as praias do esplendor eterno no reino do amanhecer.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
