From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Decrees of God       "The decrees of God are his eternal, unchangeable, holy, wise,       and sovereign purpose, comprehending at once all things that       ever were or will be in their causes, conditions, successions,       and relations, and determining their certain futurition. The       several contents of this one eternal purpose are, because of the       limitation of our faculties, necessarily conceived of by us in       partial aspects, and in logical relations, and are therefore       styled Decrees." The decree being the act of an infinite,       absolute, eternal, unchangeable, and sovereign Person,       comprehending a plan including all his works of all kinds, great       and small, from the beginning of creation to an unending       eternity; ends as well as means, causes as well as effects,       conditions and instrumentalities as well as the events which       depend upon them, must be incomprehensible by the finite       intellect of man. The decrees are eternal (Acts 15:18; Eph. 1:4;       2 Thess. 2:13), unchangeable (Ps. 33:11; Isa. 46:9), and       comprehend all things that come to pass (Eph. 1:11; Matt. 10:29,       30; Eph. 2:10; Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28; Ps. 17:13, 14).                The decrees of God are (1) efficacious, as they respect those       events he has determined to bring about by his own immediate       agency; or (2) permissive, as they respect those events he has       determined that free agents shall be permitted by him to effect.                This doctrine ought to produce in our minds "humility, in view       of the infinite greatness and sovereignty of God, and of the       dependence of man; confidence and implicit reliance upon wisdom,       rightenousness, goodness, and immutability of God's purpose."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Degrees, Song of       song of steps, a title given to each of these fifteen psalms,       120-134 inclusive. The probable origin of this name is the       circumstance that these psalms came to be sung by the people on       the ascents or goings up to Jerusalem to attend the three great       festivals (Deut. 16:16). They were well fitted for being sung by       the way from their peculiar form, and from the sentiments they       express. "They are characterized by brevity, by a key-word, by       epanaphora [i.e, repetition], and by their epigrammatic       style...More than half of them are cheerful, and all of them       hopeful." They are sometimes called "Pilgrim Songs." Four of       them were written by David, one (127) by Solomon, and the rest       are anonymous.
