(Read all of
Psalm 124

124:1
«A Song of degrees of David.» If [it had not been] the LORD who was
a
on our side, now may Israel say;
(
a
) He shows that God was ready to help at need and that there was no other way to be saved, but by this means alone.
124:3
Then they had swallowed us up
b
quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
(
b
) So unable were we to resist.
124:4
Then the
c
waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
(
c
) He uses proper similitudes to express the great danger that the Church was in, and out of which God miraculously delivered them.
124:7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the
d
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
(
d
) For the wicked not only furiously rage against the faithful, but craftily imagined to destroy them.
