translation lyrics:
Behold, I send a messenger before you to protect you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. (Exodus 23:20)
To Your lifeline I cling, Eternal, I cling Eternal, to Your lifeline, Eternal, to Your lifeline I cling. (Genesis 49:18)
The Eternal will guard your departure and your arrival from now till the end of time. (Psalm 121)
