Psalm 124
Darby Translation · 8 verses
A Song of degrees. Of David.
1If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —2If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.Darby's Synopsis
The power of the enemy had been just now (Psalm 124) fully displayed against them — the godly in the land who trusted in Jehovah. But they had escaped, but only by Jehovah being on their side, or they had been utterly swallowed up, by the last power of the enemy, I apprehend, when the apostate beast and Antichrist were gone from the scene.
