Summary

The Psalms of Ascent teach us the importance of the journey with the Lord. Every step is an opportunity to ascend. We begin the journey to ascend by lifting our eyes from where we are to where God has called us. Then our soul answers the question, "Where does my help come from?" The Maker of heaven and earth made us, and He provides everything we need and protects us from every threat. He is the Lord our Keeper.
