Psalm 120 – A Cry for Peace in a World of Lies and Conflict

This psalm is the first of the Songs of Ascents — the pilgrim’s playlist. But it doesn’t start with joy. It starts in pain. Surrounded by lies, slander, and hostility, the psalmist cries out not with ceremony, but with anguish. “Deliver me,” he says — not from violence, but from deceit.

Psalm 120 is for those who speak peace and are answered with aggression. For those who long for truth but live among distortion. For those who are climbing upward but feel stuck in a valley of bitter voices.

It reminds us that even the journey toward God begins with a cry — and He hears.

Let Psalm 120 teach you: the way up often starts with a plea.
