We rejoiced because they said to me: Let us go to the house of the Lord. Our feet are standing in Your courts, Jerusalem. Jerusalem was built like a city, and its communion is together.

In the Hebrew, Latin and Orthodox Bibles, the text of Psalm 121, like several previous ones, is called the song of ascension.

This means that it was sung by the Levites during the solemn ascent to the Jerusalem temple, which took place during major religious holidays.

The second verse of the psalm speaks about this: “Behold, our feet stand in your gates, Jerusalem” (Ps. 121:2) - it expresses the joy of a person returning to his hometown after a long life in a foreign land. The interpretation of Psalm 121 indicates that its author is David, under whom the restoration of the second temple and the transfer of the Icon took place.

In what cases is it customary to read Christian Psalm 121?

The author of the text of Psalm 121 describes in it the beauty of Jerusalem: in his words one can feel the love of a man who has repeatedly had to be an exile and live far from his hometown.

The psalmist sees in this city the stronghold of the strength of his people, and therefore begs God to bless and preserve it for the sake of those living in it.

In the Orthodox tradition, reading and listening online to the text of Psalm 121 is customary in order to protect oneself from the evil eye.

History of writing

David ascended the throne by the will of the Lord; at that time he was a simple shepherd. Before the beginning of his reign in Israel, the prophet went through many trials, through which he won not only power, but also the favor of the Jewish people. People quickly got used to the new ruler and fell in love with him.

More and more subjects, faithful servants appeared next to David, which could not but please him. This joy made him temporarily forget about the help of the Almighty. The king dared to suggest that he achieved everything in life on his own.

Only a terrible misfortune, which is described in the text of Psalm 29, succeeded in bringing him to his senses. It talks about a pestilence that has been thinning out the civilian population for years. Observing this, the prophet realized that he was wrong. He atone for his sin before the Lord, hoping that He would stop punishing the people for their mistakes.

He asked the One Creator to protect the lives of Jews, to save them from a terrible illness. He wanted a trial only for himself, but the plague did not affect his home or family members. The work additionally places emphasis on praising God, his deeds, mercy, and gifts sent to humanity. In difficult times, David did not dispense with writing one prayer; using it, he consecrated the altar, where the temple was built in the future.

When and how do you read Psalm 29?

It is unacceptable to forget about the Lord even in moments of great joy. At such moments, the righteous are supposed to thank the Almighty for his support, which Psalm 29 helps with. This song of praise is popular as a ritual song used by priests; it is also indispensable for turning to God at home.

The prayer is read to:

• receive protection from the One Creator in a dangerous situation;
• get well (they ask for themselves and for loved ones);
• to be renewed and cleansed spiritually.

Reading an ancient text once is not enough to achieve such an effect. It is recommended to pray regularly and diligently. They turn to the Almighty with Psalm 29 not only in churches, but also at home near the holy face.

Prayer to the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord

In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted, that I may never be ashamed: by Thy righteousness deliver me and save me. Incline Your ear to me, hasten to take me away, make me a Protector God and a house of refuge to save me. For Thou art my power and my refuge, and for Thy name’s sake instruct me and nourish me.

Deliver me from this net, even though you have hidden it from me, for You are my Protector, O Lord. In Thy hand I will offer my spirit: Thou hast delivered me, O Lord God of truth. You have hated those who keep vanities in vain: but I trusted in the Lord.

I will rejoice and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have looked upon my humility, You have saved my soul from need, and You have shut me up in the hands of the enemy, You have placed me on my vast nose. Have mercy on me, Lord, as I grieve: my eye, my soul and my womb are troubled by rage.

I was forgotten as if I were dead from the heart, I was like a vessel destroyed, as if I heard the evil of many living around, when they gathered together against me and took my soul together. But I trusted in You, O Lord, and said: You are my God. My lots are in Your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me. Make Thy face shine upon Thy servant, save me by Thy mercy.

Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I called Thee: let the wicked be ashamed and go down to hell. Let flattering lips be mute, speaking against the righteous with iniquity, pride and humiliation. Since You have hidden the great abundance of Your goodness, O Lord, from those who fear You, You have made them trust in You before the sons of men.

Having hidden them in the secret of Your face from the rebellion of man, You have covered them with shelter from the wrangling of tongues. Blessed is the Lord, for He has astonished His mercy in the city of enclosure. I said in my frenzy: I am rejected from the presence of Your eyes: for this reason You heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried out to You. Love the Lord, all who reverence Him, for the Lord seeks truth and rewards those who are excessively proud. Take courage, and let your heart be strong, all you who trust in the Lord.

Among the so-called “Psalms of David” is Psalm 108, which was intended by the church to curse Judas for his betrayal of God. In the Orthodox Church, it was previously used to impose a church curse on people who have committed serious crimes and whom justice cannot reach (where the law does not reach, God's retribution will reach).

If there are several enemies, then one person - one reading for him. These are not “weapons of mass destruction.” How many days should you read? Until the effect. Not a literal effect, following the example of the text: “let his children wander and beg and ask for bread from their ruins,” but stable signs of PUNISHMENT as such.

A mandatory exception is not to read on Sundays and church holidays. God himself will determine how to punish the enemy who went against people, against the commandments of God. You don't curse, you PRAY! The text says: “And I pray.” Everything is already stated in the Psalm. You don't need anything more than what is said there. God himself will measure his punishment, and be grateful for it.

Interpretation

The song of praise was written by David after the Lord had mercy on the people, saving them from a difficult trial. The whole essence of Psalm 29 can be revealed by the interpretation of individual verses of the work:

• Verses 1 – The king thanks God for his help, promising Him to glorify His name.
• Verses 2 and 3 – David continues to develop the theme raised at the beginning of the psalm. He is grateful to the Almighty for saving the lives of the Jewish people, the author discusses the misfortunes that befell the inhabitants of Israel.
• Verse 4 – The prophet encourages the reader to praise God.
• Verse 5 to 9 – The author repents of his sins, considers the troubles that the Jews faced as punishment from God for the mistakes he made. The emphasis is on the peace that the One Creator gives to the righteous, on His mercy, which erases all adversity.
• Verses 10 to 12 - glorification of the Lord, joy at the given grace, salvation from a terrible illness. David promises God to serve him until the end of his days.

Interpretation and prophetic meaning

The Psalter is not only a collection of powerful prayers. Many psalms carry prophetic meaning, and the song of vengeance is no exception:

1. After a terrible betrayal, Judas was exposed and deprived of the rank of bishop.
2. When the Jews rebelled against the Romans, the Romans laid siege, which led to famine. Entering the city, the opponents killed all the men, leaving their wives and children to die of starvation.
3. Those who were able to survive this bloodbath fled from Israeli lands. Without a penny to their name, they were forced to beg, wandering through neighboring countries.
4. Having emerged victorious, the Romans imposed a huge tribute on the Jews, thereby depriving them of their last property.
5. The historical event that drove the Jews from their lands took place over the course of one generation. The descendants of the survivors no longer found Jerusalem and its temple.
6. The sin of idolatry during 40 years of wandering in the desert, as well as the crucifixion of Christ, led to the fact that the ancient Jewish people were completely wiped out from the face of the earth.

For several centuries, theologians have tried to explain the deep meaning of the song of vengeance. The meaning of the sacred text is that all troubles occur through the fault of the person himself, who deliberately commits evil against other people. The severity of the punishment and its duration depend on the severity of the crime and on the extent to which the sinner rejects God.
