7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
7 I'm all for peace, but the minute I tell them so, they go to war!
7 I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war.
7 I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 120:7
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.
