My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Verse 6 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.

Es wird meiner Seele lang, zu wohnen bei denen, die den Frieden hassen.
Mucho se detiene mi alma Con los que aborrecen la paz.
Demasiado tiempo ha habitado mi alma con quienes odian la paz.
Assez longtemps mon âme a demeuré Auprès de ceux qui haïssent la paix.
La mia persona è omai assai dimorata Con quelli che odiano la pace.
A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.
我與那恨惡和平的人 許久同住。
