About this painting
This song is one of a series of ‘songs of ascent’, or pilgrim songs.
These songs were probably sung while traveling to Jerusalem, the temple city.
The way to Jerusalem led upwards.
On the way many dangers lurked; gangs that hid in the mountains, uneven paths one could easily stumble on, etcetera.
While the journey is dangerous and difficult, the psalmist sings about the LORD, who watches over Israel.
The Lord accompanies the pilgrim like a bodyguard. He will neither slumber nor sleep, and protects against the dangers that arise in both day and night.
The psalm is also a call to trust in this God, on our own life's journey
