121:7-8 These verses could be translated as a “bidding prayer” (“May the Lord protect”). They can also be translated as a promise for the future, “The LORD will protect you from all harm” (most Bibles have a similar rendering). The immediate context was concerned with divine protection for the holy mission to the temple in obedience to the law, but the words in any rendering express a general belief of the faith, only occasionally cast into doubt (Ps 44).
