Notes

Psalms 132:13–17

The psalmist remembers how God chose Jerusalem and appointed the priests.

Psalms 132:1–18

This psalm celebrates the Lord’s faithfulness to David. When David wanted to bring the ark to Jerusalem (Psalm 132:1–5), the Lord agreed and made Jerusalem his earthly home (132:6–10). God’s choice of Jerusalem also shows his choice:

of David's family line (Psalm 132:11–13),
of Zion (Psalm 132:14–17), and
of the priesthood (Psalm 132:9, 16).

Psalms 120:1–134:3

These short and memorable songs were sung by pilgrims as they traveled to Jerusalem for the national festivals held three times each year (Deuteronomy 16:16). The title of these psalms includes a Hebrew word that can mean “steps” or “stairs.” Some scholars understand it to mean “going up to Jerusalem.” These psalms, often called the Songs of Ascents, lead the listener on a journey to Jerusalem to praise God for his goodness to Israel through history.
