The content of the article is a literary, historical and theological analysis of Psalm 122. After discussing the literary properties of the text and its place within the Psalms of Ascents (Pss 120–134), and its structure (vv. 1–2. 3–5. 6–9), the author gives three main interpretations of Psalm 122 that exist in accordance with the interpretations of the introductory formula (Songs of Degrees, Songs of Ascents, and Songs of Pilgrims). Psalm 122 is traditionally considered as authentic pilgrim’s song and it is also the view of the author. Subsequently the text applies literary and exegetical analysis to its three parts, which reveals both the historical and theological meaning of Psalm 122: joy of the pilgrimage (vv. 1–2), the description of Jerusalem (vv. 3–5), a prayer for peace and prosperity (vv. 6–9). The objective of the article was to use a correct method of biblical analysis, applying complementarily historical and theological exegesis in order to show the spiritual significance of Psalm 122 for Christian existence.
