1241 If the Lord had not been on our side- let Israel say-
1241 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
1241 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side-- let Israel now say--
1241 If God hadn't been for us - all together now, Israel, sing out! -
1241 A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side," Let Israel now say--
1241 What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 124:1
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.
