The Lord the Defense of His People (Notes from Psalm 124)

Description of God:
Maker of heaven and earth.(:8)

Deeds of God:
The Lord is on our side (:1,2)
Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,  Who made heaven and earth.(:6-8)


 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side:
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.” (:2-5)
