WATCH: The ancient Psalm that became an Israeli classic
A simple tune for Psalm 121, Shir LaMaalot has been remade and covered by musicians and singers across the spectrum.
The song Shir LaMaalot, which contains all the Hebrew words of Psalm 121, was originally composed by Breslav Chossid Yosef Karduner. It was eventually sung by scores of Israeli musicians, with a slower, more Middle Eastern, version developing as well.
We’ve gone through all the available cover version and brought you the absolute best – not necessarily in a particular order. Enjoy!
