Interpretation of Psalm 101
To accurately interpret and analyze the song, we turned to the original story and to each verse separately.
Psalm 101 consists of 29 verses. The first lines describe the author's desperate situation. All this is emphasized in the caption to the very text of the handwritten sacred letter, which says that difficulties will accompany everyone. It doesn't matter if you are a king or an ordinary shepherd, difficulties are part of life.
The first lines describe the author's despair and despondency before the onset of disasters and the appearance of the enemy. It was the enemy who sowed the seed of melancholy and grief in him and forced him to give up. The author associates himself with dried grass, which leans towards the blowing wind. He will not resist the circumstances, and in a matter of seconds such grass turns to dust.
In the following lines, he compares himself to a pelican, whose usual habitat is the oceans and seas, and he appears in the desert, where there is not the slightest sign of water. These lines are intertwined with the history of the Jewish people, cut off from their home and doomed to eternal walking and searching for themselves. So King David was abandoned by everyone and driven into persecution by his own son.
Deep repentance is described in the author's poems. He admits his mistake and guilt before the Lord and glorifies his omnipotence and majesty. The plea for salvation does not subside from his lips, he tries in every possible way to reach God and his mercy. In this mercy he sees salvation from all his troubles and sins. This is the salvation that Jews see in search of their home and shelter.
Next come verses 17-23, where the author believes in better days and the future, rejoices at the thought of confidence and that the situation will improve, the Almighty will hear prayers and give grace to cover troubles and misfortunes.
In the final lines, the Lord is exalted and praise is offered to him as the only Protector and Creator. God is eternal for everyone, and only the righteous will find salvation and joy in him.
Interpretation of David's Psalm 121
To better understand the meaning of Psalm 121, you need to analyze each verse in detail:
- Verse 1-5 reports that three times a year the Jews went to Jerusalem for the main holidays. King David rejoiced greatly when the time came to go again to the house of the Lord. He praises the appearance of the city, standing at the gates of Jerusalem;
- Verse 6-9 says that Jerusalem is the center of the entire Jewish nation. Each pilgrim prays to the Lord to preserve Jerusalem for the sake of his fellow Jews.

Psalm 126
The Psalter consists of songs of thanksgiving, praise, petition and songs of lamentation. Many people know the psalmist, king and prophet David, who wrote many prayers important for Christianity. However, the Psalter includes songs that were created over 800 years and not all of them were written by David.
The songs were written by various clergy and even King Solomon's son, but Psalm 126 was written several decades after Solomon's reign. Yet this psalm is extremely important.
In Church Slavonic with accents
1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord preserves the city, watch in vain.
2 It is in vain that you will grow gray, eating the bread of sickness, when He gives sleep to His beloved.
3 Behold the heritage of the Lord, the reward of the fruit of the womb.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons shaken off.
5 Blessed is he who gets his desire from them. They will not be ashamed when they speak against their enemies in the gates.
In Russian
1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain; If the Lord does not guard the city, the watchman watches in vain.
2 In vain do you rise early, sit up late, eat the bread of sorrow, while He gives sleep to His beloved.
3 This is the heritage of the Lord: children; the reward from Him is the fruit of the womb.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are young sons.
5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! They will not be left in shame when they speak to their enemies at the gates.
History of writing
In some versions of the text of Psalm 126 there is a postscript “Solomon”, but this speaks not of time, but of place. Under King Solomon, a temple was built in Jerusalem, which was destroyed during the captivity of the Jews. When, after many years, the Jewish people returned to Israel, they set about restoring the temple.
Psalm 126 is part of the Song of Ascension, a collection of psalms sung during the festival sacrifices in Jerusalem. The text contains a description of the relationship between people, their voluntary work to restore the temple and the relationship between man and God. People get tired of work, quarrel and argue, which interferes with work, and only trust in God's will and help saves the people.
When to read Psalm 126?
The song can be considered eternal and always relevant, since it draws attention to the most important gift of the Lord - children. Psalm 126 should be read with gratitude and praise.
It is used in petitions for consolation and blessing in various matters.
Any prayer strengthens faith and enriches the soul, and reading Psalm 126 can also bring good luck. Hope and sincere faith in the Lord will be a support in all situations; the Lord will always help his servant not to go astray from the right path.
Interpretation of Psalm 126
The song was written for specific events that happened to the Jewish people, but over time it became universal. Any Christian should know the text of Psalm 126, since the main idea that can be traced in it is that one should rely only on the Lord and follow His will in any situation.
The interpretation of Psalm 126 is best analyzed verse by verse:
- Verse 1 - more than one thing, the structure and decision will not be successful unless there is the blessing of the Lord. The house here acts as a collective concept, by which one should understand not only the building, but even the family.
- Verse 2 – with God’s mercy, any work will be successful, while work that is displeasing to the Lord from morning to night will not bring either worldly blessings or peace. The righteous, blessed by God, will find peace and sleep.
- Verse 3-5 – God’s greatest mercy is children. They are never born without the will of the Lord, so they should be accepted as a gift, as a gift from God. For a wise person, children will be support and weapons, like arrows in a quiver, which should serve for the good, that is, be raised correctly.
Reading rules
There are no strict rules when performing songs from the Psalter, but there are a number of recommendations. At home, you are allowed to read Psalm 126 in Russian, but it is advisable to do this in front of icons and with a lit candle. The words do not need to be spoken out loud, since the Lord also hears the thoughts of believers. You should not turn to prayer if its text is unclear and not close. You should understand the interpretation of the psalm, and perhaps contact a clergyman for clarification. A sincere prayer, even if it has not been memorized, will be heard by the Lord, and the request will be fulfilled.
We advise you to study the Most Famous Icons
The history of writing the psalm
The authorship of 121 songs belongs to the king of Israel – David. He wrote this prayer when the Ark of the Covenant had already been moved into the walls of Jerusalem. This psalm is part of a series of songs of ascension. Previously, they were performed by Jews who went to the Jerusalem temple during religious holidays.
The songs were also sung by Jews returning from slavery. Psalm 121 expresses not only human joy after returning home from captivity, but also love for one’s own home, family, and the Lord.

Interpretation
In Psalm 33, the author says that the Lord will save those who trust in him and praise him. For a more detailed interpretation, you should consider the verses separately:
- Verses 1-3 - the psalmist expresses the idea that moral people who glorify the Lord stand closer to him than others. At the same time, their praise must be sincere and come from the heart in response to any God's mercies.
- Verses 4-5 – The author explains the need to praise the Lord. After all, all the deeds he does are fair and righteous, you can always rely on his words.
- Verses 6-11 - they develop the idea expressed in the previous verses. The psalmist emphasizes that the intentions, plans and goals of the Lord cannot be undermined by anyone, and everything he has planned will be carried out from generation to generation.
- Verses 12-19 - in these lines praise is exalted to God, who not only created people, but also delves into their deeds and intentions. The author expresses his joy at being part of God's chosen people. He emphasizes that the Lord never comes to the aid of the proud and arrogant, and therefore neither powerful armies nor numerous cavalry will save them. Only to those who trust in him will he come to the aid in times of distress and need.
- Verses 20-22 – In the last verses of Psalm 32, the psalmist assures the Lord that the Jewish people trust in him, hope for his mercies, and praise him.
The main idea of Psalm 32 is that the Lord loves those who fear and honor him. It is to them that he will provide patronage and protection in difficult situations, feed them during hunger and “save their souls from death.”
How not to slander your neighbor
Saint Basil the Great believes that sometimes the truth can turn out to be slander: “You cannot say anything about an absent brother with the intention of slandering him - this is slander, even if what was said was true.” “...But there are two cases in which it is permissible to speak evil (but the truth) about someone: when it is necessary to consult with others who are experienced in this, how to correct a sinner, and when it is necessary to warn others (without verbosity), who, out of ignorance, can often be in company with a bad person, considering him good... Whoever, without such a need, says something about another with the intention of slandering him, is a slanderer, even if he was telling the truth.”
Saint John Chrysostom warns: “Slander destroys great houses; one slandered, and through him others cry and weep: his children, his neighbors, and his friends. But for this, it can be bad for slanderers. The Lord does not accept their prayers from them, and their candles go out, and their offerings are not accepted, and the wrath of God rests on them, as David says: The Lord will consume all flattering lips, a lofty tongue.”
Saint Gregory the Theologian advises us to pay attention to why we complain about others: “If the complaint is unfair, it becomes slander...” And the venerable Abba Isaiah does not advise using slander to save oneself from disasters and human malice: “Every unfortunate person is worthy of mercy when he mourns his disasters
But if he begins to slander others and harm them, then pity for his misfortunes will disappear; He is no longer recognized as worthy of regret, but of hatred, as having used his misfortune for evil by interfering in the affairs of others. So, the seeds of this passion must be destroyed at the beginning, before they germinate and become indestructible, and do not create danger for the one who is sacrificed to this passion.”
And the Monk Abba Isaiah does not advise using slander to save oneself from disasters and human malice: “Every unfortunate person is worthy of mercy when he mourns his disasters. But if he begins to slander others and harm them, then pity for his misfortunes will disappear; He is no longer recognized as worthy of regret, but of hatred, as having used his misfortune for evil by interfering in the affairs of others. So, the seeds of this passion must be destroyed at the beginning, before they germinate and become indestructible, and do not create danger for the one who is sacrificed to this passion.”
121:1 Song of Ascension. David. David composes a sublime song, he sings not about earthly things, but to God - his thoughts.I rejoiced when they said to me: “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” It is not common for every person to experience joy from the mere opportunity to go to the House of God, that is, to God. You need to love God, and then from the mere opportunity of meeting Him, or at least from the opportunity to visit His abode, joy is born in the most natural way.
121:2 Behold, our feet stand in your gates, Jerusalem, This is the city that Jehovah chose for Himself to dwell in this very place (1 Kings 11:36). The gates of the city show that the entrance there, to the city of God, is not free, the access “gate system” is used for passage to God.
121:3 Jerusalem, built like a city merged into one, It is interesting that we are talking about a city, and the singer sings about the dwelling of Jehovah, built LIKE the city of Jerusalem. In the future, God will reveal to His servants the meaning of the symbol of the city of Jerusalem - for the earth: from this city Jehovah rules His people, this is the government capital of His people. One day she will move to heaven (Rev. 21:2,23-27) And the rulers of this city are structured like any capital city: there are heads in it - legislators (“priesthood”, president and state Duma), there are also executive heads ( "kings", chairmen of local executive committees). That is, the government capital of the city of Jehovah is a symbol of His system of government, established with priests and kings - over His people, over the subjects in His state (Rev. 1:6)
121:4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, according to the law of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. Any person cannot enter this capital: the tribes of the Lord go there strictly and with the goal of glorifying God not only with their lips, but also with themselves, with their righteousness, reflecting God’s righteousness
121:5 There are thrones of judgment, thrones of the house of David. In the capital of Jehovah, the judgment of God is carried out, and therefore its thrones await only the judges and co-rulers of the greater David, Jesus Christ.
121:6 Ask for peace for Jerusalem: may those who love you prosper! David calls to ask God to become the Jerusalem of God. As long as God's Jerusalem rules, the prosperity of those who love God's rule is assured.
121:7 May there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your palaces! It is normal for those who love God to desire prosperity for His government capital. The prosperity of the subjects, who will lead this government, also depends on the prosperity of God’s government. (“leading by the hand”, teaching God’s mind - Heb. 11:40)
121:8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I say: “Peace be with you!” David does not even ask for the prosperity of Jerusalem for his own sake: his soul hurts for his neighbors and for his brothers, David loves people, and that is why he wants God’s Jerusalem to prosper.
121:9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I wish you well. The health and prosperity of Jerusalem - the government of God - is a guarantee that the correct worship of the Most High will always come from this capital: as long as the rulers are faithful to God, He lives among them and does not leave His dwelling place among them. But if the rulers become unfaithful, then the House of God is left empty by them (Matt. 23:37,38)

Why is slander dangerous?
Many people don't understand the seriousness of gossip. Some experience a kind of euphoria - “if someone talks about me, it means I’m worth something and am popular.” But that's not true. Most slander is aimed at causing negative injury to a person. What does it mean?
Any discussion of a person, his personal life, has a negative impact on his internal balance. Often, gossipers slander a person out of a feeling of envy, killing with this feeling both the object of envy and, paradoxically, themselves. A person’s energy shell is destroyed and he can become seriously ill. Gossip can create negative vibrations on the energy level, which will not lead to anything good.
Gossip that reaches your partner's ears can ruin your relationship. And your arguments and justifications will not always be on your side. Your partner will stop trusting you.

The uniqueness of Jerusalem
No matter where we are in Israel, we always say “go up to Jerusalem.” Like many things in God's Word, there is both a literal meaning (in terms of height, Mount Zion) and a spiritual meaning: we are ascending to meet God. Psalm 121 begins with the words that people physically ascended the mountain of the Lord, but these words also carry spiritual meaning. This entire Psalm continues to reveal truth on many levels.
As Yehuda Amichai once said, Jerusalem is “a port city on the shore of eternity.” He is like a portal to what is beyond the material world, a portal to the heavenly. Why? Is Jerusalem a super-spiritual city? By itself, of course not. God wanted to destroy it along with His own Temple more than once. But he is holy because God chose him. Just like His chosen people. God chose Jerusalem to be the geographic location in which He would redeem the world—the site of the death and resurrection of the Messiah. This event happened at a certain time in a certain place, but its result extends into eternity.
Interpretation of Psalm 15
In terms of the completeness in the development of thoughts, the brevity of their expression, and also because of the lack of clarity, the text of Psalm 15 is one of the most difficult to interpret.
- Verse 1: The message of these words is repeated in most of David's psalms and testifies to the extraordinary depth and strength of his devotion and faith. David saw all his hope, “all the hope” of life only in the Lord, and only from him could he expect help at that moment when he found himself outside his people, among the pagans, alien to him by faith and blood.
- Verse 2: As mentioned above, “goods” can be understood as sacrifices. The purpose of these sacrifices is to awaken in a person an awareness of his sinfulness before the Lord and a desire for reconciliation with him. God does not require sacrifices from David, because he demanded from him service with deeds and thoughts, that is, with his whole being.
- Verse 3: Here the “saints” are the Jewish people, as God’s chosen ones, under his exclusive direction and protection, and called to be a holy people. The “land” is Palestine, and the “wonderful ones” are priests who are respected and honored by the people. David is drawn to true shepherds, to his native people, to his native land.
- Verse 4-5: Since there is only one true God - Jehovah, then only those who believe in him can expect mercy. And hardships and “sorrows” will fall on those who worship foreign gods.
- Verse 6: “My boundaries” are the boundaries of my possessions (fields), boundaries. This piece of property is dear to David.
- Verse 7: Apparently, while he was among the Philistines, David had a revelation from God by which he was “admonished.”
- Verse 8: David constantly sees help from the Lord, which protects him from all kinds of falls and misfortunes. And even being among the pagans, he is confident that he will be saved.
- Verse 9-10: The awareness of the Lord's constant protection was the source of David's deep inner joy, which was also manifested outwardly (“my tongue rejoiced”). This same patronage instilled in him deep confidence that he would not die and his body would not even see decay. But as the book of Acts testifies (2:29, 13:36), this confidence was not justified. David died, like all people, and his body decayed. Therefore, the above words refer to a greater extent to Christ, whose body was resurrected and did not know corruption.
- Verse 11: The final verse summarizes the entire content of Psalm 15. It celebrates the joy of fellowship with God.

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.
We advise you to study What to do if you lost your cross?
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.

A city merged into one
“Behold, our feet stand in your gates, Jerusalem, Jerusalem built as a city merged into one.” (Ps. 122:2-3)
And here is a strange phrase: “built like a city, merged into one” ( כְּעִיר, שֶׁחֻבְּרָה-לָּהּ יַחְדָּו ).
Other translations try to represent the meaning of these Hebrew words in various ways: “joined together,” “tied together,” “compressed together,” “firmly connected,” and Young's Literal Translation says “joined together with itself.” (The indicated options are a literal translation from English, Russian translations: “densely built-up” - new Russian translation, “strong and united city” - modern translation, “merged into one” - synod. translation and translation. Dov-Ber Haskelevich, “fused into one” - translated by David Josephon - approx.) The word חֻבְּרָה appears in the entire Bible only once, right here.
The word “haver” ( חבר ) means “friend” and it has the additional connotation of joining together. Just like the curtains in the Sanctuary were joined together (Exodus 26:11 says they are to be joined together, that they are to be “one”). Here in this verse, Ps. 121:3, it is said that Jerusalem is connected or united together not with something else, but with itself - חֻבְּרָה-לָּהּ יַחְדָּו .
In the Babylonian Talmud (tractate Taanit 5a) the verse Ps. 121:3 is cited as evidence that since Jerusalem is “joined” or “bound,” there must be two Jerusalems. The Hebrew word חבורה includes the word and concept of חבר , that is, friend, so Jerusalem must have a companion - another Jerusalem in heaven. This is also seen in the spelling of the word Jerusalem in Hebrew: the suffix indicates that it is a pair. Two Jerusalems.
But that's not all. Although Jerusalem was designated an international city by the UN in 1947, the 1948 war ended with Jordan capturing East Jerusalem and Israel taking West Jerusalem. Jerusalem was divided in two until 1967, when the city was united again . It was united together - a city merged into one.
A city for everyone
“Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, according to the law of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. There stand the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.” (Ps. 122:4-5)
The entire land of Israel was divided among the tribes, but this city was accessible to everyone. All the tribes came here. Likewise, the UN designated Jerusalem as a corpus separatum in 1947—an international city for all peoples. There is no other city in the world that is singled out as “international” like this one, belonging to everyone!
The connection between the events of 1947, 1948 and 1967 and the phrase from Psalm 121 has not been lost, according to the Israeli educator and politician Rabbi Moshe Zvi Neria, who spoke of Jerusalem being for all of Israel, and not just for certain groups or strata society. He reflected that in 1948 Israel fought for the city even among themselves, but in 1967 we became more united and able to make the city accessible to all [1].
In the Jerusalem Talmud (tractate Chagigah 2.6), Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi says that this is the city that “makes all Israel friends.” What is it about Jerusalem that makes all Israel friends? That it belongs to everyone.
Today they are Jews, Arabs and people from all over the world.
The multi-level meaning of the request for “shalom”
“Ask peace for Jerusalem: may those who love you prosper! May there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your palaces! ” (Ps. 122:6-7)
The word Shalom, as we know it, means “peace.” But the root of the word also means “fullness,” including the sense of well-being, as well as the word “paid.” The name Jerusalem itself contains the root letters of this word - complete, paid, peace. It is no coincidence that it was in Jerusalem that Yeshua paid for our sins and brought us peace with God.
Verse six tells us that we should pray for peace in Jerusalem. We want to see calm, absence of strife, prosperity... but in addition, we can also ask that Jerusalem be complete, whole, united. There are many words in Hebrew that mean peace, and shalom and shelva are used here. Different words are used to develop the theme and to encourage us to think about different kinds of peace, different meanings of peace: inner peace, peace with God, peace with each other as opposed to division and war.
Brothers and friends
“For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I say: 'Peace be with you!' For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I wish you well.” (Ps. 122:8-9)
Once again we see a repetition of the theme of friendship, brotherhood, and fellowship as begun in verse 6—Jerusalem has a “companion” joined together with it. (The original word for “neighbor” is רעי , plural of רֵעַ , which also means “friend” - trans.) This is the path to peace and unity: calm, well-being and physical “oneness”.
Jerusalem must be a city connected to itself both physically and relationally. Today this is a global cause for division, the very opposite of God's stated desire, but when Yeshua comes to reign and rule, Jerusalem will become as He intended - a place of reconciliation of us to God, and ourselves as people to each other.
We can ask God to redeem the broken relationships between Arabs and Jews, Isaac and Ishmael - even among the followers of Yeshua themselves there are so many divisions - so that we seek good for each other, not evil. Like a wall united into a single whole without breaks or gaps.
Above - the Temple, the heavenly Jerusalem and the Divine Plan
Although the enemy is working overtime to establish the opposite of “shalom” in Jerusalem, we can pray that the beauty of God's kingship will come down and meet the reality here on earth, just as Yeshua taught us to pray:
“Pray like this: Our Father who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” (Matt. 6:9-13)
Amen!

Text of prayer Psalm 101
Since this is an ancient book, there is no exact chronology and history of writing and authorship. Most opinions of specialists and scientists are divided into two categories. Analysis of this scripture revealed dual results in the process of its research. Theologians are theologians, people who study scripture, have put forward two versions:
- Some say that the song was written by King David during the period of civil strife and the rebellion of his son Absalom, who won over the courtiers and people serving in the kingdom. He persecuted his own father with his actions. This betrayal was a blow to David. Most of the courtiers turned their backs on him, even the generals and the army took the side of his son, who wanted to take over his father’s throne. Lost, betrayed and alone, King David was forced into hiding, depressed, defeated and broken. His only salvation is a prayer to the Lord God for protection. After all, his hands gave up, but he did not find salvation.
- Another part suggests that the text shows the events of the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. When exhausted Jews asked for help, and theologians attribute the authorship of the song to the prophets Daniel or Nehemiah. But even this story is not 100% accurate.
We can only guess the history of the creation of these wonderful songs. But one thing remains unchanged - this is a prayer for help to God.
History of writing
According to the Hebrew Bible, Psalm 121 was written by King David. It was written at a time when the Icon of the Covenant had already been moved to Jerusalem. Psalm 121 is a song of ascension. Previously, the Levites sang it when they went to the temple in Jerusalem for religious holidays. The Jews who had just returned from captivity sang the song. The psalm clearly expresses not only the joy of a person who has returned home from a foreign land, but also love for his home, his family, and, of course, for God.
