Joe: Alright, so let's talk about the Bible. We've got Psalms 120. Tell me what's going on in this chapter.

Bible Expert: Well, Psalms 120 is a prayer of a man in distress. He's crying out to God for deliverance from his enemies, who are lying and deceitful. He's asking God to save him from their lies and to protect him from their schemes.

Joe: Wow, that's intense. So what does he say in the prayer?

Bible Expert: Well, he says, "Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips and from the deceitful tongue." He's asking not only for deliverance, but for justice. He wants God to punish his enemies for their lies and deceit.

Joe: Can you give us a few more examples of what he's asking for?

Bible Expert: Sure. He also says, "I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war." He's asking God to help him find peace in the midst of a situation where his enemies are constantly trying to stir up conflict. He's also asking God to protect him from their arrows of words, which can be just as damaging as physical arrows.

Joe: Wow, that's some powerful stuff. Anything else he's asking for in this prayer?

Bible Expert: Yes, he's also asking God to give him a place to dwell and to protect him from the enemies who live in foreign lands. He wants to be able to live in peace and safety, but he knows that he can't do it without God's help.
