Verse 1

Title. A Song of degrees. Same as Psalm 120. 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.
