6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
6 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.
6 My whole life lived camping among quarreling neighbors.
6 My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace.
6 I am tired of living among people who hate peace.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 120:6
Commentary on Psalm 120:5-7
(Read Psalm 120:5-7)
It is very grievous to a good man, to be cast into, and kept in the company of the wicked, from whom he hopes to be for ever separated. See here the character of a good man; he is for living peaceably with all men. And let us follow David as he prefigured Christ; in our distress let us cry unto the Lord, and he will hear us. Let us follow after peace and holiness, striving to overcome evil with good.
