Salmos 120
Reina Valera 1909 (RV1909) · Español
1 Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió. 2 Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta. 3 ¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa? 4 Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro. 5 ¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, y habito entre las tiendas de Kedar! 6 Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz. 7 Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, me hacen guerra.

Salmos 120:2-3
PSALM 120
Psa 120:1-7. This is the first of fifteen Psalms (Psalms 120-134) entitled "A Song of Degrees" (Psa 121:1--literally, "A song for the degrees"), or ascents. It seems most probable they were designed for the use of the people when going up (compare 1Ki 12:27, 28) to Jerusalem on the festival occasions (De 16:16), three times a year. David appears as the author of four, Solomon of one (Psa 127:1), and the other ten are anonymous, probably composed after the captivity. In this Psalm the writer acknowledges God's mercy, prays for relief from a malicious foe, whose punishment he anticipates, and then repeats his complaint.
2-3. Slander and deceit charged on his foes implies his innocence.
Salmos 120:4
4. Sharp arrows of the mighty--destructive inflictions.
coals of juniper--which retain heat long. This verse may be read as a description of the wicked, but better as their punishment, in reply to the question of Psa 120:3.
Salmos 120:5
5. A residence in these remote lands pictures his miserable condition.
Salmos 120:6-7
6-7. While those who surrounded him were maliciously hostile, he was disposed to peace. This Psalm may well begin such a series as this, as a contrast to the promised joys of God's worship.
