Psalm 122

This summer we are looking at a group of Psalms known as the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134). Sung by the Israelites as they traveled up to Jerusalem for different religious festivals each year, these Psalms have come to be seen as the songs that narrate the life of discipleship. As Eugene Peterson describes them, they are "Songs for the Road" as we follow Jesus through this life. This Sunday we will look at Psalm 122, where the Israelites sing about the joy of worshiping God together.
