Salmos 120:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 120:1

In my distress I cried unto the Lord
Being at a distance from his own country, or, however, from the house of God; persecuted by men, under the lash of their tongues; reproached, abused, and belied by them: in this his case and circumstances, he betook himself by prayer to the Lord, and importuned help and deliverance of him, knowing that none could help him as he; see ( Psalms 18:6 ) ;

and he heard me;
answered him, and delivered him. The petition he put up follows, which shows his case, and his particular distress.

Salmos 120:1 In-Context

1 A JEHOVA llamé estando en angustia, Y él me respondió.

2 Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, De la lengua fraudulenta.

3 ¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, Oh lengua engañosa?

4 Agudas saetas de valiente, Con brasas de enebro.

5 ¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, Y habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!
