Search The Scriptures —Study 102 — Psalms 120 and 121

Study 102  From the Book of Psalms is: Psalms 120 and 121


In Ps. 120-143 we have a book of pilgrim songs, probably used on the way up to Jerusalem for the great national festivals. Gradually the pilgrim approaches Zion where God is, and where the people enter afresh into the blessings of His love and redemption.

          1-   What does Ps. 120 teach about the menace of the tongue and the way of control? Cf. Ps. 141:3, and the very similar teaching in Jas. 3:1-12; 4:1-3.
           2-   In Ps. 121 the infinite concern and care of God is shown. How, when and where can a man look to this God? And what will He constantly do for us?
Note. 120:5. Meshech is somewhere between the Black sea and the Capian Sea (Gn. 10:2; Ezk. 27:13; 32:26); Kedar is a tribe of Bedouins in the Syrian-Arabian desert (Gn. 25:13; Is. 42:11). They are so far from one another that their significance here is probably a symbol of quarrelsome adversaries without any special reference to their geographical position.
