Psalms 120:5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
120:5. Gracious people are vexed with the conversation of the wicked. Our poet felt himself to be as ill-at-ease among lying neighbors as if he had lived among savages. He had some hope from the fact that he was only a sojourner in Mesech; but as years rolled on the time dragged heavily, and he feared that he might call himself a dweller in Kedar. The wandering tribes to whom he refers were constantly at war with one another; it was their habit to travel armed to the teeth; they were a kind of plundering gypsies, with their hand against every man and every man’s hand against them; and to these he compared the false-hearted ones who had assailed his character. Those who defame the righteous are worse than cannibals; for savages only eat men after they are dead, but these wretches eat them up alive.
