Chapter Study & Analysis

Psalm 120 is the first "Psalm of Degrees." The psalmist cries out in distress because of lying lips and a deceitful tongue, lamenting that he dwells among those who hate peace.

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

1. The Deliverance from Lies: God is our rescuer from "lying lips" (v. 2). Integrity is often met with opposition in a fallen world.
2. A Man of Peace: "I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war" (v. 7). The believer must maintain a peaceful spirit even in a hostile environment.

FORMAL PRAYER

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. Amen.
