A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 97:3

Trivia: When do wicked people begin to tell lies?

Psalms

CHAPTER 124

Swallowed up
124:1-8

A Song of degrees of David.

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

If God hadn't been on our side,

we'd have been swallowed up,

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

or crunched by the teeth of our enemies.
