Explanation: In Psalm 120 the Psalmist asks the LORD for deliverance from liars; he warns them of judgment; and he laments that he lives among those who hate peace. Today's painting depicts a peace which eluded the Psalmist.

In his distress the Psalmist called upon the LORD; and the LORD heard him (1). His prayer was that the LORD would deliver him from lying and deceit (2). He warns liars and deceivers that they will be stricken by sharp arrows and coals of juniper -- also translated, "the broom tree" (3-4). He laments that he sojourns in Mesech and Kedar among those who hate peace (5-6). He is for peace; but they are for war (7).
THE PSALTER:
BOOK FIVE OF FIVE:
Psalms 107-150.
Psalm 120
1 A Song of degrees.
In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer ( Habakkuk) and a musical notation (" upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a " send to" notice (" To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
