Salmi 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.

Salmi 120:1 In-Context

1 Cantico di Maalot. IO ho gridato al Signore, quando sono stato in distretta, Ed egli mi ha risposto.
2 O Signore, riscuoti l’anima mia dalle labbra bugiarde, E dalla lingua frodolente.
3 Che ti darà, e che ti aggiungerà La lingua frodolente?
4 Ella è simile a saette acute, tratte da un uomo prode; Ovvero anche a brace di ginepro.
5 Ahimè! che soggiorno in Mesec, E dimoro presso alle tende di Chedar!
