Footnotes

  1. 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(), .
  2. 1 Heb “every fearer of the Lord.”
  3. 2 Heb “the one who walks in his ways.”
