| NET © Notes |
1 sn Psalm 129. Israel affirms God’s justice and asks him to destroy the enemies of Zion. 2 sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21. |
