12 The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120–134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101–150(), .
1 Heb “every fearer of the Lord.”
2 Heb “the one who walks in his ways.”
3 The psalmist addresses the representative God-fearing man, as indicated by the references to “your wife” (v. 3) and “the man” (v. 4), as well as the second masculine singular pronominal and verbal forms in vv. 2–6.
4 Heb “the work of your hands, indeed you will eat.”
5 Heb “how blessed you [will be] and it will be good for you.”
