He that keeps Israel (audio)

Barry and Batya Segal's awe-inspiring "Hiney Lo Yanum" starts off softly and gradually gets really deep, really heavy.


The song chants,
Hiney lo yanum v'lo yishan shomer Yisrael

Which is Hebrew for "He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps", a quote from Psalm 121:

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
