'Let Us Go to the House of the Lord' Psalm 122: A Song of Ascents

Psalm 122 is a psalm used by the pilgrims as they were "going up" to Jerusalem. It’s a meditation on "Jerusalem"—which was a very im­portant place for the ancient pil­grims. It was the centre of Israel’s life; it was where they went up to give thanks to the Lord; it was where judgements were made and where justice was dispensed; it was where the annual festivals were observed; it was where God had made a home—in his holy temple.
