|
|
<p id="Ps124_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',124,'1-8');">Psa 124:1-8</a>.
|
|
<p>The writer, for the Church, praises God for past, and expresses trust for future, deliverance from foes.
|
|
<p><b>1, 2. on our side</b>—for us (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',56,9);">Psa 56:9</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>now</b>—or, "oh! let Israel"
|
|
<p id="Ps124_2"><b>2. rose...against,</b> etc.— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',3,1);">Psa 3:1</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',56,11);">56:11</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps124_3"><b>3. Then</b>—that is, the time of our danger.
|
|
<br><br><b>quick</b>—literally, "living" (<a onclick="return mV('Num',16,32,33);">Num 16:32-33</a>), description of ferocity.
|
|
<p id="Ps124_4"><b>4, 5.</b> (Compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,4, 16);">Psa 18:4, 16</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps124_5"><b>5.</b> The epithet <i>proud</i> added to <i>waters</i> denotes insolent enemies.
|
|
<p id="Ps124_6"><b>6, 7.</b> The figure is changed to that of a rapacious wild beast (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',3,7);">Psa 3:7</a>), and then of a fowler (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',91,3);">Psa 91:3</a>), complete escape is denoted by breaking the net.
|
|
<p id="Ps124_8"><b>8.</b> (Compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',121,2);">Psa 121:2</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>name</b>—in the usual sense (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,11);">Psa 5:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',20,1);">20:1</a>). He thus places over against the great danger the omnipotent God, and drowns, as it were in an anthem, the wickedness of the whole world and of hell, just as a great fire consumes a little drop of water [LUTHER].
