Psalms 120 Study & Commentary
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.
