Christopher Tin - I Lift My Eyes (feat. Abeer Nehme with Angel City Chorale)

"I Lift My Eyes" is a setting of Psalm 121 in Arabic. Originally composed for the Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the video game 'Old World', the song is performed by Lebanese star Abeer Nehme, backed by the Angel City Chorale. Christopher Tin plays piano, Sandro Friedrich plays duduk (not shown), and Jamie Papish plays all the percussion. The music video is directed by Tayo Amos.
The strings were recorded by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, conducted by Péter Illényi.
'Old World' is a turn-based strategy game by Mohawk Games, the game studio founded by legendary 4X game designer Soren Johnson (Civilization, Spore, Offworld Trading Company). The game is available on Steam and the Epic Games store.

Psalm 121 God the Help of Those Who Seek Him A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills- From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

[@mikezimean2]

I'm not sure it's the best idea to compare everything he writes to just one other piece (both ingenious and viral but nevertheless). And besides that I'm pretty sure his magna opus is still ahead.

@@Nobody1499 I have listened to decent amount through games like civilization. It usually sounds like such a harsh language to me, so that's why I never thought it could be very moving for me personally (which is a good thing in some arrangements, like war songs). This was beautiful though.

No offense meant, I just find it to be interesting, but Abeer Nehme's KZbin channel has uploaded this MV for more than a year. I thought you were going to upload this soon to your channel as well, but you've just uploaded this now. When I first heard this, I was almost tempted to just blast this on my neighbourhood mosque's aux.

[@priscakasemire5830]

It is Psalms 121 in Arabic

[@christophertin]

Yeah, we decided to spread out our uploads!

[@budakbaongsiah]

@@priscakasemire5830 That's the point. Wanna know how many people would realize that while it's Arabic and from a holy scripture, it's from the other one.

[@wheredamoon]

@@budakbaongsiah I have heard about Christians who go to read scripture in Arabic to people, and it sounds to them like Qu'ran. That is not that surprising though, because the Qu'ran contains many excerpts, truncated stories from the Hebrew and Christian Bible.

Traduction française : Je lèverai les yeux vers les collines. D'où vient mon secours ? Mon aide vient du Seigneur, qui a fait le ciel et la terre. Il ne permettra pas que votre pied bouge. Celui qui te garde ne s'endormira pas. Voici, celui qui garde Israël. Ne s'assoupira ni ne dormira. Le Seigneur est votre gardien. Le Seigneur est votre ombre à votre droite. Le soleil ne te frappera pas le jour, Ni la lune la nuit. Le Seigneur vous préservera de tout mal. Il préservera votre âme. Le Seigneur préservera ta sortie et ton entrée.
