Psaume 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.

1 Cantique des degrés. Dans ma détresse, c'est à l'Eternel Que je crie, et il m'exauce.

2 Eternel, délivre mon âme de la lèvre mensongère, De la langue trompeuse!

3 Que te donne, que te rapporte Une langue trompeuse?

4 Les traits aigus du guerrier, Avec les charbons ardents du genêt.

5 Malheureux que je suis de séjourner à Méschec, D'habiter parmi les tentes de Kédar!
