G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 124:1-8

The journey from the place of exile to the city and Temple of Jehovah has now commenced. The heart of the song is in the words: Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. Escape brings a sense of the dangers left behind, and therefore a keen appreciation of the fact that Jehovah has been acting as Deliverer: If it had not been the Lord! What a tone of joy is in that sigh. We often speak of a sigh of relief, and here is one indeed. The thunder of the threatening flood is... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 124:8

THE DIVINE HELPER‘Our help is in the name of the Lord.’Psalms 124:8 I. Happy will my soul be, if it can truly sing this old song of the exiles delivered from Babylon.Once the wild beasts of prey threatened to swallow it alive. Their jaws gaped and yawned to receive it. But the Lord, the Mighty One, delivered it out of the mouth of the Lion. It is escaped.Once the furious swollen torrent swept over it. It seemed as if it must bear on its tawny bosom the ruins of all the soul’s labours and the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 124:1-8

INTRODUCTIONThis jubilant song speaks of a sudden peril and narrow escape, and praises God for the great deliverance. We take it to be, according to its title, a Psalm of David, not a hymn founded upon his character, writings, and history. It is full of his force and fire, suits not a few situations in which he shared the lot of Israel as herein described, and contains expressions parallel with words occurring in compositions of which he is the undoubted author. The figures employed describe... read more

DISCOURSE: 716GOD TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED IN OUR MERCIESPsalms 124:1-8. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say; if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul; then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 124:1-8

Psalms 124:1-8 :If it had not been the LORD who was on our side ( Psalms 124:1 ),And, of course, I think we could all write our own psalm from this point on. If God hadn't been with me, let me tell you, you know. "If it had not been that the LORD was on our side,"now may Israel say; If it had not been that the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: then they would have swallowed us up quickly, when their wrath was kindled against us: then the waters had overwhelmed us, and the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 124:1-8

REFLECTIONS. This psalm was written after a victory, when the nine nations had plotted to destroy Zion, and to extinguish the light of Israel. Poor deluded nations; little did you know the power of him that dwelleth in Zion, and little do the wicked now consider that the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church. See Psalms 83:0. This conspiracy of the nations was to swallow up Israel as in a pit, to ravage the country as a flood, or as the breaking in of the sea upon the level... read more

Psalms 124:1-8If it had not been the Lord who was on our side.God in the troubles of the goodI. Acknowledged as the Deliverer from great troubles (Psalms 124:1-5).1. The words represent the great troubles from which the Almighty wrought deliverance, as springing out of the hostility of man.2. The hostility of man is represented by two figures--(1) As the rage of wild beasts (verse 3).(2) As the rage of rushing waters (verses 4, 5).II. Praised as the Deliverer from great troubles (verses 6,... read more

Psalms 124:6-8Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.Thanksgiving for deliverance1. It is our duty after delivery from dangers to acknowledge not only God’s power for us, but His goodness also towards us, and to acknowledge Him the fountain of all blessedness upon that occasion (verse 6).2. As the Church’s enemies are superior to her in worldly strength, so also in policy, craftiness, and worldly wit, as the fowler is craftier than the bird.3. According as the... read more

Psalms 124:8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.The best helperI. God is everywhere present. Sometimes those who would help us are afar off. Not so God; He is “a very present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1).II. He has everything we want ready at command. Is it money, grace, friends, comfort, guidance, strength? He has of these things more than we can possibly need.III. He is a very willing helper. He invites us to call upon Him in the day of trouble (Psalms 50:15).IV.... read more
