120:3-4 Those who spoke lies—possibly while swearing by God that they were not lying—would face severe judgment. Burning charcoal is literally “coals of broom,” that is, charcoal derived from a hard-stemmed plant called a broom tree (1Kg 19:4-5; Jb 30:4).

120:5-7 Meshech was located southeast of the Black Sea. Kedar was an eastern plain located at the northern fringe of the Syrian-Arabian Desert. It was normally inhabited by Arab tribes. Together they represent places far and near where Israelites dwelt as aliens.
