- 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;
