This week we read Psalm 91 through 125
This means that we read the first of the Psalms of Ascent - Psalms 120 - 134. These were the psalms that the people of Israel sang as they ascended into Jerusalem - they came to be connected with the Passover, when as many people as possible came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover.
The best known is probably Psalm 121. "I lift up my eyes to the hills, from where is my help to come? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth"
This is the psalm that promises the presence and the help of God with us as we go.
Try reading the Psalms of Ascent as a unit - imagine yourself chanting them while you walked through the desert to the Holy place of God.
