The Pilgrim Psalms: An Exposition of the Songs of Degrees is unavailable, but you can change that!

This volume analyzes the “Songs of Degrees,” as Samuel Cox calls Psalms 120–134.

Cox places them in their historical context and scrutinizes the text of each Psalm, as well as the grouping as a whole.

Ask almost any man you meet what the constitution of a Church should be, or what the contents of a creed, or what the forms of service; and lo, he has a confident and authoritative reply at your service, and thinks you but a heretic, or a fool, if you differ from him, although these are points on which the holiest and wisest men have differed for centuries, and are likely to differ for centuries to come.
