Look to the hills to discern:
Is there help coming or is it a foe
just beyond the horizon?
Shall we equip ourselves for war
or rush to prepare a banquet table?

Look to the hills to discern:
Do not fret and scurry frantically about
based on what we don’t know,
for what is to be gained for tomorrow
by hyping our fears or relaxing in false security?

Look to the hills to discern:
Let our souls be wise
and attentive
so that we are neither unprepared nor
distracted by the tales we tell of the unknown.

Look to the hills to discern:
we do not know
what may be out of sight;
let our souls be at peace to say it:
we do not know what will come over the hills.

Look to the hills to discern
and let us know:
whether help or foe awaits
beyond the hill, through all things
there is the LORD who made heaven & earth.

Look to the hills to discern:
we do not need to know
what is coming
in order to know that the LORD
keeps us, from the rising of the sun to its setting.
