Salmo 121

“Salmo 121” by Turminha Pentecostal is a heartfelt song that draws inspiration from Psalm 121 in the Bible. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of faith and reliance on divine protection. The opening lines, “Elevo os meus olhos para os montes / E me pergunto de onde vem meu socorro,” echo the psalmist’s question about the source of help, which is answered with unwavering confidence: “Eu sei que vem, vem do Senhor.” This declaration underscores the belief that God, the creator of heaven and earth, is the ultimate protector and helper.

The song emphasizes the idea that God is always vigilant and never sleeps, ensuring the safety of His followers. The lines “Ele é o guarda de Israel / Que não dormirá, mas me guardará” highlight this constant divine vigilance. The imagery of God as a guardian who does not let the feet of His followers slip on their path is powerful, suggesting that believers can walk their life’s journey with confidence and security.

Furthermore, the song speaks to the comfort and peace found in God’s protection. “Guardado em Suas asas eu vou descansar / Firmado em sua palavra eu vou caminhar” conveys a sense of rest and stability that comes from trusting in God’s promises. The repetition of “Deus me guarda” reinforces the theme of divine protection, whether in times of entry or exit, day or night. The concluding lines, “Eu creio em Deus / E a minha fé se fortalece,” express a growing faith that is strengthened through life’s struggles, reflecting a resilient and enduring belief in God’s presence and care.
