It is sometimes annoying being a student of theology. One of the devastating moments in my studies was addressing Psalm 121, and learning that the original meaning is NOT that God’s comes from the hill to save us. The reason we lift our eyes to the hills, is that the heathens live there, and we are afraid they are coming to get us.
This completely ruins the reading of this text in the context of Vatnaskogur Summercamp. How often have I thought about hill “Kambur” and its beauty when I have read this text.
