General Information
Psalms 120 - 134 are called the Hammaaloth psalms, meaning 'step', with each psalm apparently representing one of the 15 steps of the temple in Jerusalem. The Latin text still has canticum graduum, a literal translation for 'stepsong'. They are frequently quoted as psalms of pilgrimage, though this is doubted by scholars.
The psalm has number 133 in the Vulgate translation.
