Psalm 120 begins a series of 15 psalms that all have the inscription “A Song of Ascents”. These psalms were sang by the people of Israel as they came up to Jerusalem 3 times a year for the feasts of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. The subject matter of these psalms is that of the nation gathering in the land, the keeping power of God to have her there and the joy that Jerusalem is uniquely the city of God where He has chosen to place His name.
