It was verse 7 that struck me today. It allows me to feel the frustration of someone taking a stand for peace in the midst of a crowd that's already decided to have a war. This applies to daily life like choosing not to participate in workplace gossip, and family arguments. We can take a stand for peace without fear, though; this psalm also says we can rely on God to answer us when we call on him for help.
Psalm 120 (New International Version)
A song of ascents.
1 I call on the LORD in my distress,and he answers me.
2 Save me, O LORD, from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.
3 What will he do to you,
and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?
4 He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom tree.
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6 Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
7 I am a man of peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
