by Dr. Henry M. Morris
(taken from the Defender's Study Bible)
A Song of degrees of David.
Psalm 124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
Psalm 124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
Psalm 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
Psalm 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
waters had overwhelmed us. This psalm can be considered as a testimony of answers to our prayers in the previous psalm (see Isaiah 59:19).
Psalm 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Psalm 124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Psalm 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
