Psalms 125-126

No author is attributed with the words of psalm 125, but I think I can imagine what God used to inspire him; the mountains of Jerusalem. They aren't the same as the Rockies but they are beautiful and protective in their own rights. I imagine the pilgrams approaching Jerusalem. The young ones here the excitement in the voices of the aged.  Wrinkled and weathered hands point toward some hills in the distance. Those are the mountains that surround Jerusalem. Maybe the author heard an older saint speak the words before he penned them; "They surround Jerusalem just like the LORD surround his people." What a wonderful description of the love of God for his people.
It took less than two minutes to read these psalms of ascent.
