Esa Einai

אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים, מֵאַיִן יָבֺא עֶזְרִי. עֶזְרִי מֵעִם ה’, עֺשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ. הִנֵּה לֺא יָנוּם וְלֺא יִישָׁן, שׁוֹמֵר יִשְׂרָאֵל

 

“I raise my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? My help is from Hashem, Maker of heaven and earth… Behold, [He] neither slumbers nor sleeps, the Guardian of Israel.” (Tehillim 121:1-2,4)
