A song to sing as we climb.

Lord, please help me[a]

120 I cried to the Lord to help me in my trouble.
    He answered me.
I prayed, ‘Lord, keep me safe from people who tell lies.
    Save me from people who want to deceive me.’

Footnotes

  1. 120:1 Psalms 120-134 are called ‘Climbing Songs’. People probably sang them as they went towards God's Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple was high up, so people had to walk up the hill, like they were climbing. When people sang these songs, they were preparing to worship God in his Temple.
