Psalms 124:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 124:3

1 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our ^aside,”
^bLet Israel now say—

2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have ^aswallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have¹ gone over our soul;

5 Then the swollen waters
Would have¹ gone over our soul.”

6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 ^aOur soul has escaped ^bas a bird from the snare of the¹ fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
