Psalms – Chapter 120

When the Church proclaims Psalms Chapter 120 at Mass or in the Liturgy of the Hours, she treats this text as the living voice of God.

In the four senses of Scripture—literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical—the Church finds rich meaning in Psalms Chapter 120. At the moral level, stewardship of creation challenges us to examine conscience and amend our lives (CIC 133).

If this passage raises questions, seek the Church's teaching through the Catechism, a faithful priest, or sound Catholic commentaries. Private interpretation must remain in harmony with the Magisterium (CIC 385).
