Psalm 124:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
If [it weren't for] the Lord [being] on our side, Israel [is] now [able to] say, If the Lord hadn't been on our side, when men rose up against us: then they [would have quickly] swallowed us up, when their [anger grew] against us. [Romans 8:31 What shall we say then, [about] these things? If God [is] for us, who can be against us?] |
Then, the waters [would have] overwhelmed us & the stream [flooded] over our soul. Then, the waters [of the] proud [would have] gone over our soul. [Psalm 65:5-7 O God of our Salvation; Who [is] the confidence of all the ends of the earth & of [those who] are afar off upon the sea, |
You will answer us by terrible things, in righteousness. Which by His strength, being [clothed] with power, [firmly puts] the mountains & [Who calms] the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves & the tumult of the people.] |
Blessed [is] the Lord, Who hasn't given us [like] prey to their teeth. Our soul [has] escaped [like] a bird out of the [fowler's trap.] The [trap] is broken & we [have] escaped. Our help is in the Name of the Lord, Who made heaven & earth. |
[Genesis 1:9-10 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place & let the dry land appear & it was so. And God called the dry land: Earth & the gathering together of the waters He called: Seas. And God saw that it was good.] |
