Psalms 120:1 - The Songs Of Ascents.

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me . The particular "distress' intended can only be conjectured. Some suppose it to be the Captivity itself, others the opposition offered by the Samaritans, Ammonites, and others to the rebuilding of the temple ( Ezra 4:1-24 ; Ezra 5:1-17 .) and restoration of the wails of Jerusalem ( Nehemiah 2:19 , Nehemiah 2:20 ; Nehemiah 4:1-23 ; Nehemiah 6:2-14 ). But these guesses are scarcely of much value.
