Psalm 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.

Psalm 120:1 In-Context

1 En mi angustia clamé al SEÑOR, y El me respondió.

2 Libra mi alma, SEÑOR, de labios mentirosos, y de lengua engañosa.

3 ¿Qué se te dará, y qué se te añadirá, oh lengua engañosa?

4 Agudas flechas de guerrero, con brasas de enebro.

5 ¡Ay de mí, porque soy peregrino en Mesec, y habito entre las tiendas de Cedar!
