Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 120:1-7

THE SONGS OF DEGREESPsalms 120-134GENERAL INTRODUCTIONThe principal hypotheses on which to account for the “Songs of Degrees,” “Songs of Ascents,” “Pilgrim Psalms,” and to each of which great names are attached, and each of which has something to say for itself, are as follows:—1.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 120:1-7

This time let's turn in our Bibles to Psalms 120:1-7 to begin our Bible study this evening. Now you'll notice these psalms have a heading. The psalm, "A song of degrees." The word literally is ascents, A-S-C-E-N-T-S. And these are sort of the marching songs for the people of Israel as they would come thrice annually to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.There's a lot of things about the nation Israel that excite me.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 120:1-7

This and the fourteen psalms which follow, are entitled, “Songs of Mahaloth, or degrees.” Kimchi, and some of the rabbins say, they were so called because they were sung on the steps of the second temple, which were fifteen in number, and stood between the court of the men, and of the women.

Psalms 120:2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips. Lying lipsA watch that cannot be depended upon is of very little use. It may have a beautiful gold case, it may be sparkling with jewels, but yet it will be of no service to me as a watch unless I can depend on what it tells me about the time. And so one of the things by which we judge of the real value and worth of men or women, of boys or girls, is this--Are they truthful? Do they mean what they say? Are they really what they seem to be?... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 120:2

Psa 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue. Ver. 2. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips ] This was David’s distress, and it lay heavy upon his spirit; so it did upon Job’s, and Jeremiah’s, Jeremiah 20:10 ; the scourge of tongues he felt as sharp as scorpions.
