Psalm 120
A song of ascents.
1 I call on the Lord in my distress,
and he answers me.

from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.

and what more besides,

with burning coals of the broom bush.

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

The Psalm is a call during hard times. In the specific verse, the author is tired of living through war. The author wants peace but it’s clear that those around them only want War and the author is struggling through that.
The verse is a reminder to all Christians that not everyone is seeking peace. You may be approaching conflict looking for the best peaceful solutions. While others only think of tasting blood.
