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.

3 Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?

4 Flechas agudas do valente, com brasas vivas de zimbro!

5 Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, e habito entre as tendas de Quedar!
