The image is only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; it is not intended as a one-to-one correspondence. It is more like a visual cross-reference.
image: Jacob builds an altar at Bethel. (Genesis 35:1-8)
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments. 3 Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”"
4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
PSALM 120 10 10 10 10
1 I call upon the LORD in my distress;
He listens to my prayer and answers me.
2 Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips
And from all tongues that speak deceitfully.
3 What will he do to you, deceitful tongue?
What more besides will be your fitting doom?
4 With warriors’ arrows he will pierce you through,
And punish you with burning coals of broom.
5 What misery to live in Meshech’s land,
In Kedar’s tents, among my enemies!
6 With people loving strife I’ve lived too long;
7 They are for war, but I’m a man of peace.
