Esa Einai

Esa Einai (Psalm 121) - Joey Weisenberg

I first heard this gorgeous piece performed live, sung by the amazing Matthew Ward, accompanied by Richard Souther on Piano.
As the title reflects, it is taken from the book of Tehilim (psalms) and written by David Ha Melech (King David).
Although Hebrew in origin, Matthew used an English lyric, which works really well here.
I hope you enjoy.

Psalm 61

Esa Einai - Text from Psalms 121:1, melody by Aviva Stein	
אֶשָּׂ֣א עֵ֭ינַי אֶל־הֶהָרִ֑ים מֵ֝אַ֗יִן יָבֹ֥א עֶזְרִֽי. 
עֶזְרִי מֵעִם ה' עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
Esa einai el he’harim me’ayin yavo ezri. 
Ezri me’im Hashem, oseh shamayim va’aretz.

Translation: I lift my eyes to the mountains, from where does my help come? My help comes from Hashem, who made the heavens and the earth

Psalm 61
To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

Psalm 61:1-4 Hear My Cry, O God

Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer. 

From the ends of the earth I call to Thee, when my heart is faint; Lead me to a rock that is higher than I, Lead me to a rock that is higher than I, Lead me to a rock that is higher than I; For Thou has been a refuge for me. 

Let me dwell in Thy tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings.

So I will sing praise to Thy name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.

Hear my 
Cry O God
Listen to my 
Prayer

From the ends of the earth 
I call 
To you
I call 
As my heart grows faint

Lead me to the rock 
That is higher 
Than I
Lead me to the rock 
That is higher 
Than I

For you 
Have been 
My refuge

A strong 
Tower 
Against 
The foe
I long 
To dwell in your tent 

Forever and take refuge 
In the shelter 
Of your wings
Forever and take refuge 
In the shelter 
Of your wings

Hear my 
Cry O God
Listen to my 
Prayer
