Verse 5 is found in chapter 120 of Psalms. Psalm 120 begins the collection of the Songs of Ascents with a prayer from someone living among people characterized by lies and hostility. The psalmist desires peace, but those around him seek conflict. The reference to Meshech and Kedar functions as an image of existence far from God’s peace. The psalm thus establishes the starting point of a spiritual pilgrimage that begins amid a hostile environment.
