General Information
Psalm 131 is part of the Song of Ascents, the series of 15 psalms symbolizing the 15 steps of the temple in Jerusalem. They are often claimed to have been pilgrimage songs, though there is no substantial evidence to support this. As a sequel to psalm 130, it is built around the concept of hope - the numerical value of this word in Hebrew (30) is matched by the number of words in the Hebrew text.
