Songs of Ascent
•
David Beaty
The "Songs of Ascent" are a collection of Psalms (120-134) that were probably sung by pilgrims who were "ascending" or "going up" to Jerusalem. Sections from Psalms 120, 121, and 122 teach us that we should call to God whenever we are in distress, always acknowledge God as our helper, and pray for the peace of God's people.
