Psalm 120
(1599 Geneva Bible)
1 The prayer of David being vexed by the false reports of Saul’s flatterers.
5 And therefore he lamenteth his long abode among those infidels,
7 Who were given to all kinds of wickedness and contention.
A song of [a]degrees.
1 I called unto the Lord in my [b]trouble, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What doth thy [c]deceitful tongue bring unto thee? or what doth it avail thee?
4 It is as the [d]sharp arrows of a mighty man, and as the coals of Juniper.
5 Woe is to me that I remain in [e]Meshech, and dwell in the tents of [f]Kedar.
6 My soul hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I seek [g]peace, and when I speak thereof, they are bent to war.
[a] That is, of lifting up the tune and rising in singing.
[b] Albeit the children of God ought to rejoice when they suffer for righteous sake, yet it is a great grief to the flesh to hear evil for well doing.
[c] He assured himself that God would turn their craft to their own destruction.
[d] He showeth that there is nothing so sharp to pierce, nor so hot to set on fire, as a slanderous tongue.
[e] These were people of Arabia, which came of Japheth, Gen. 10:2.
Genesis 10: 2
(1599 Geneva Bible)
The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and [a]Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
[f] That is, of the Ishmaelites.
[g] He declareth what he meaneth by Meshech, and Kedar, to wit, the Israelites which had degenerate from their godly fathers, and hated and contended against the faithful.
summary:
Psalm 120 stands as a testament to the power of prayer, resilience in the face of deceit and conflict, and the unending hope for peace. It is a poignant reminder of our shared human experiences – distress, deceit, the longing for peace – and the continuous reliance on divine intervention to navigate through life’s adversities.
Cry to the Lord (Verses 1-2)
In distress, the psalmist cries out to the Lord, pleading for deliverance from lying lips and deceitful tongues. These verses convey a deep longing for divine intervention amidst falsehoods and mendacity.
Consequence of Deceit (Verses 3-4)
The psalmist questions what punishment the deceitful will receive, stating that sharp arrows of a warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree, shall be their fate. This metaphorical language denotes divine retribution for those who spread lies.
Exiled among Conflict (Verses 5-6)
The psalmist laments about dwelling amongst those who relish in war and deceit, specifically mentioning being in exile in Meshech and living among the tents of Kedar. This signifies the psalmist’s sorrow about being surrounded by strife and conflict.
Yearning for Peace (Verse 7)
The psalmist concludes with an earnest yearning for peace while living among those who are for war. This final plea underscores the theme of the Psalm – the desire for peace amidst a world of conflict.
Psalm 120, an individual lament in the Song of Ascents, represents a heartfelt cry from the psalmist beseeching deliverance from false tongues and a longing for peace amidst a world of deceit and conflict. This Psalm is a testament to personal struggles and the spiritual journey towards serenity and divine intervention.
hope you have a great day!

Government Shutdown Clock – The White House
…day 23, and counting ~ this will be a new part of my posts until the gov opens back up…
Why does the US government shut down? “The U.S. government shuts down when Congress fails to pass funding legislation required to finance its operations, leading to a funding gap. This results in the cessation of non-essential government services and furloughs for many federal employees until a budget is approved.”
“Historical Context: Since 1980, funding gaps have consistently resulted in shutdowns. The most significant shutdowns include the 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019 and the current shutdown that began on October 1, 2025. The latter has become the second-longest in U.S. history, primarily due to ongoing negotiations failing to reach a consensus.”(search assist)
