Psalms Chapter 120
Overview
Psa 120:1, David prays against Doeg; Psa 120:3, reproves his tongue; Psa 120:5, complains of his necessary conversation with the wicked.
Bp. Patrick and others suppose this Psalm to have been composed by David, when the calumnies of Doeg and others forced him to flee his country.
