Episode 07 Psalm 121: Climbing Life’s Hills with the Creator

Hey friends, Welcome to our podcast ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD

I want to ask you a question today.

Have you ever stood at the base of a hill or a mountain, looking up, feeling the weight of the climb ahead?

Life often feels like that—steep, overwhelming, and uncertain.

Today, we’re stepping into Psalm 121, a song for the journey, a promise that no matter how daunting the climb, we have help.

This isn’t just any help—it’s the help of the One who made the hills, the valleys, and the earth beneath our feet. So, let’s start climbing together.

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine this:

You’re standing at the base of a long, winding trail. The sun is warm on your face, but the path ahead looks steep and endless. Your heart feels heavy—not just from the climb but from your burdens. You lift your eyes to the hills and whisper, ‘Where will my help come from?’

And then, as if carried on the breeze, you hear a voice saying this to you:

I lift up my eyes to the hills—

from where does your help come?

Your help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.’
