Psalm 121‚ usually recited in any time of danger or potentially dangerous situations‚ describes the importance of attaining G-d even at the greatest of heights and to ascend to His “glorious Presence.” This can only be achieved when man forsakes his faith in earthly powers and lifts his “eyes up to the hills‚” toward G-d.
