Psalms 122 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This is a song of the anticipation of Jerusalem and the house of worship. It sets forth the glory of the establishment and compacted city where the tribes gather to give thanks to Jehovah. Yet through it all it is evident that the glory of city and Temple consists in the fact that they are the city and house of The LORD. It is a song of assembly, of testimony, of judgment, of peace, of prosperity. These all issue from the supreme fact of God's presence.

The affirmation: Our feet are standing within thy gates, is confidence of faith. It is the claim of citizenship, even though the citizen has not yet actually reached the city. The call has come to ascend to the house of the Lord, and with songs of praise and prayers for the city the pilgrim prepares to respond, while the hope becomes a present consciousness of the joy of assembly.
