Ps 120:1-7.
简体中文
英文原文
Ps 120:1-7.
This is the first of fifteen Psalms (Psalms 120-134) entitled "A Song of Degrees"
(Ps 121:1
--literally, "A song for the degrees"), or ascents. It seems most probable they were designed for the use of the people when going up (compare
1Ki 12:27, 28)
to Jerusalem on the festival occasions
(De 16:16),
three times a year. David appears as the author of four, Solomon of one
(Ps 127:1),
and the other ten are anonymous, probably composed after the captivity. In this Psalm the writer acknowledges God's mercy, prays for relief from a malicious foe, whose punishment he anticipates, and then repeats his complaint.

4. Sharp arrows of the mighty--destructive inflictions.
coals of juniper--which retain heat long. This verse may be read as a description of the wicked, but better as their punishment, in reply to the question of

6, 7. 当周围的人心怀恶意与他为敌时，他却向慕和平。本篇诗作为这样一系列的开端颇为合适，与所应许敬拜神的喜乐形成对比。
英文原文
6, 7. While those who surrounded him were maliciously hostile, he was disposed to peace. This Psalm may well begin such a series as this, as a contrast to the promised joys of God's worship.
Ps 120:1-7.
这是十五篇题为"上行之诗"（诗篇一二〇至一三四篇）（
Ps 121:1
——原文作"为台阶的歌"），即"上行之歌"中的第一篇。它们很可能专为百姓上去（参
1Ki 12:27, 28）
耶路撒冷守节时（
De 16:16）
使用，每年三次。其中四篇显然出于大卫，一篇出于所罗门（
Ps 127:1），
其余十篇不具名，大概作于被掳之后。在本篇中，作者承认神的怜悯，祈求脱离恶毒的仇敌，预知其刑罚，然后重述其诉苦。
