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 Eu clamo pelo SENHOR na minha angústia,e ele me responde.

2 SENHOR, livra-me dos lábios mentirosose da língua traiçoeira!

3 O que ele dará a você?Como lhe retribuirá, ó língua enganadora?

4 Ele a castigará com flechas afiadas de guerreiro,com brasas incandescentes de sândalo.

5 Ai de mim, que vivo como estrangeiro em Meseque,que habito entre as tendas de Quedar!
