Verse 1
Title. A Song of degrees. Same as Psalms 120:0 . App-67 .
of David = by David. For its place here see App-67 .
LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4 .
high = wonderful.
Verse 2
Surely = [See] whether I have not, &c.
quieted = silenced. Some codices, with Septuagint and Vulgate, read "soothed and uplifted": i.e. comforted.
myself = my soul. Hebrew. nephesh.
My soul = Myself. Hebrew. nephesh . App-13 .
Verse 3
Israel. Not "a liturgical addition", but used to link the three Psalms of this group together (Psalms 129:1 ; Psalms 130:7 , Psalms 130:8 ; Psalms 131:3 ). For Israel is to find rest and peace where their kings (David, and Hezekiah) found it.
