One of the best websites for studying the psalms is Hebrews 4 Christians, where anyone who's interested can study the Hebrew language and look for helpful pieces of information in Bible study in general.
Here's the link.

psalms of ascent
It's been a long time since I posted anything here. Rather than copy out the psalm in the text, I'm just going to provide a link. That'll keep me from getting in trouble with copyright, I hope. So, today's psalm is 120: Here it is: http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt26c0.htm , in Hebrew and in English. At the top of the page there is a link to listen to the psalm in Hebrew.
This is the first of 14 psalms called "Psalms of Ascent" or "Pilgrim Psalms", songs sung by pilgrims as they went up to Jerusalem for great annual feasts. Maybe they were sung by the Levite priests on the fifteen steps from the Court of the Women to the Court of the Israelites in the temple. Also called "Gradual Psalms" or "Psalms of the Steps".
