King James Translators' Notes

for peace: or, a man of peace

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

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.


Psalm 55:21 His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
Psalm 109:4 In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. (NASB ©1995)
