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 Canto dei pellegrinaggi. Nella mia distretta ho invocato l’Eterno, ed egli m’ha risposto.

2 O Eterno, libera l’anima mia dalle labbra bugiarde, dalla lingua fraudolenta.

3 Che ti sarà dato e che ti sarà aggiunto, o lingua fraudolenta?

4 Frecce di guerriero, acute, con carboni di ginepro.

5 Misero me che soggiorno in Mesec, e dimoro fra le tende di Kedar!
