My Lord and Protector [Ps. 121]

"My Lord and Protector [Ps. 121]" is a comforting setting of one of the most beloved psalms of trust. Modestus C. Amatobi arranges the familiar words—"I look up to the hills, where will my help come from?"—into a gentle, solemn melody that reassures the congregation of God's constant watchfulness. The verses remind us that our keeper never sleeps nor slumbers, shielding us by day and by night.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully as a Responsorial Psalm or a meditative Communion hymn. The refrain's promise that He will "never allow your feet to be hurt nor shaken" brings a deep sense of peace to the liturgy. It is especially fitting for Lenten reflections or any moment in the Mass where the people need a reminder of divine protection and unwavering support.
