Psaumes 120
Louis Segond 1910 (LSG) · Français
1 Cantique des degrés. Dans ma détresse, c’est à l’Éternel Que je crie, et il m’exauce. 2 Éternel, délivre mon âme de la lèvre mensongère, De la langue trompeuse ! 3 Que te donne, que te rapporte Une langue trompeuse ? 4 Les traits aigus du guerrier, Avec les charbons ardents du genêt. 5 Malheureux que je suis de séjourner à Méschec, D’habiter parmi les tentes de Kédar ! 6 Assez longtemps mon âme a demeuré Auprès de ceux qui haïssent la paix. 7 Je suis pour la paix ; mais dès que je parle, Ils sont pour la guerre.

Psaumes 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.
Psaumes 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.
Psaumes 120:5
5. A residence in these remote lands pictures his miserable condition.
Psaumes 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.
