Psalm 120
A song to sing as we climb.
God answers a prayer for help #120:1 Psalms 120–134 are called ‘Climbing Songs’. The Israelites probably sang them as they went towards God's temple in Jerusalem. The temple was high up on a hill. When people sang these songs, they were preparing to worship God in his temple.
1I cried to the Lord to help me in my trouble.
He answered me.
2I prayed, ‘Lord, keep me safe from people who tell lies.
Save me from people who want to deceive me.’
3How will God punish you,
you people who deceive others?
He will punish you as you deserve!
4Yes, the sharp arrows of a soldier will hurt you.
They will give you pain, like wood that burns with fire.
5I am so sad! I live in Meshech as a stranger.
I live among the people of Kedar.
6I have lived too long with people who hate peace.
7I want to live here in peace.
But when I speak about peace,
they only want war!
