In his sermon on Psalms 131–134, Stephen Davey explains how these final Songs of Ascent teach God’s people to trust, worship, unite, and bless the Lord as they journey toward His promises. Psalm 131 uses the image of a weaned child to show that spiritual maturity learns to rest quietly in God’s care rather than demand immediate answers. Psalm 132 traces Israel’s history under David and God’s covenant promise of an eternal King, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Psalm 133 celebrates the beauty of unity among God’s people, describing it as a fragrant blessing and refreshing dew that brings life and joy. Psalm 134 closes the ascent with a benediction, calling worshipers to bless the Lord together as they look ahead with hope to Christ’s coming kingdom.
