Lord Who Was On Our Side

A recognition of the role the LORD played in our lives. This psalm specifically mentioned the occasions when God saved the Israelites. It about the acknowledgement that without God, they would have perished in many instances. The God of heavens and Earth was and is and will be on our sides.


Psalm 124
The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say—

2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;

5 Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.”

6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;[a]
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
