Charles Spurgeon says of this psalm that "this is a good lesson for us to learn from the past experience of the Lord's people. God and God alone did deliver his servants in the past and herein is our confidence for the present and the future; our help is in the name the revealed and manifested character of Jehovah, the Creator of heaven and earth"

Today we get to sing Psalm 124 as written by Wendell Kimbrough.

His music has been featured in Worship Leader Magazine and World Magazine; and Under the Radar Media selected his 2016 album, Psalms We Sing Together, as an honorable mention for albums of the year.

Psalm 123 is a Psalm of Lament. It would seem that our community of pilgrims found themselves to be the subject of much contempt and scorn.

How do we handle contempt and scorn? Let us journey with these pilgrims as they teach us a thing or two about Gods mercy.

Psalm 122 was written by David for the people to sing as they journeyed to Jerusalem for the holy feasts. Jerusalem was the center of their worship, so it would be natural for them to sing of their joy in entering into her gates, and to pray for peace and prosperity within her walls.

Today we sing this Psalm to a tune that MIGHT be familiar to you! Tune in to find out!

Our Help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and Earth. The psalmist points out that He is the maker of Heaven and earth to show His universal and unmatched power.

He made all things, and so for our help to come from Him means that no weapons, earthy or demonic, will stand against us!

As Spurgeon said “It is vain to trust the creatures - it is wise to trust the Creator”

Psalm 120 to 134 are known as the Psalms of Ascent, or the Pilgrim Psalms. Many of Gods people would sing as they made their journeys into Jerusalem each year for the Feast for Tabernacles, The Passover Feast and the Feast of First fruits.

For the next 15 weeks we will be taking a closer look into these Psalms. We hope you enjoy the series that we have called - The Pilgrim Psalms - Songs of Ascent.

Today, we are starting with Psalm 120 - Deliver Me, O Lord. We will be singing this metrical Psalm to the tune of 'Be Thou My Vision'.
