Ps 120:1
120:1 <> In my {b} distress I cried unto
      the LORD, and he heard me.

      (a) That is, of lifting up the tune and rising in singing.
      (b) Even though the children of God should rejoice when
          they suffer for righteousness sake, yet it is a great
          grief to the flesh to hear evil for well doing.

Ps 120:3
120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto
      thee, thou {c} false tongue?

      (c) He assured himself that God would turn their craft to
          their own destruction.

Ps 120:4
120:4 {d} Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

      (d) He shows that there is nothing so sharp to pierce, nor
          so hot to set on fire, as a slanderous tongue.

Ps 120:5
120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in {e} Mesech, [that] I dwell in
      the tents of {f} Kedar!

      (e) These were people of Arabia, who came from Japheth,
          @Ge 10:2.
      (f) That is, of the Ishmaelites.

Ps 120:7
120:7 I [am for] {g} peace: but when I speak, they [are] for
      war.

      (g) He declares what he means by Meshech and Kedar, that
          is, the Israelites who had degenerated from their
          godly fathers, and hated and contended against the
          faithful.
