Psalm 126 and the following continue in the series of the “Songs of Ascent” that were sang by the nation of Israel as they came up to Jerusalem three times a year for the feasts of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. Psalm 127 is a great psalm for parents and families. Psalm 128 tells us of the blessings of having the Lord at the center of our lives and families. Psalm 129 reminds us that Israel has always been Satan’s target and as such, God continually has brought deliverance to that nation and particular Jerusalem. Finally in Psalm 130 the psalmist pours out his cry to God and assumes the role of a mediator before God for the people in prayer. The world could use more men like this!
