　　Commentary on Psalm 124:1-5

　　(Read Psalm 124:1-5)

　　God suffers the enemies of his people sometimes to prevail very far against them, that his power may be seen the more in their deliverance. Happy the people whose God is Jehovah, a God all-sufficient. Besides applying this to any particular deliverance wrought in our days and the ancient times, we should have in our thoughts the great work of redemption by Jesus Christ, by which believers were rescued from Satan.

　　Psalm 124:2-5 In-Context

　　1 If the Lord had not been on our side- let Israel say-

　　2 if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,

　　3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

　　4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

　　5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
