Psalm 120

Psalms 120-134 are called Psalms of Ascent, most likely because they were sung by worshipers ascending to Jerusalem for the annual festivals. Psalm 120, the first of the Psalms of Ascent, laments the distress of living away from the LORD's house, among people who hate peace.

To sing Psalm 120 we set lyrics from the Scottish Psalter (1620) to a traditional American folk melody.

This recording features Naomi Stamoolis on vocals and Joel Stamoolis on guitar.
