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. They are frequently quoted as psalms of pilgrimage, though this is doubted by scholars.

1  Behold now, praise the Lord : all ye servants of the Lord;

2  Ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord : even in the courts of the house of our God.

3  Lift up your hands in the sanctuary : and praise the Lord.

4  The Lord that made heaven and earth : give thee blessing out of Sion.

Statenbijbel (1637)
