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 invoqué al SEÑOR,y él me respondió.

2 SEÑOR, líbrame de los labios mentirososy de las lenguas embusteras.

3 ¡Ah, lengua embustera!¿Qué se te habrá de dar?¿Qué se te habrá de añadir?

4 ¡Puntiagudas flechas de guerrero,con ardientes brasas de retama!

5 ¡Ay de mí, que soy extranjero en Mésec,que he acampado entre las tiendas de Cedar!
