Psalms 124:7 - Exposition

O ur soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers (comp. Psalms 91:3 ; Psalms 140:5 ; Psalms 141:10 ). Another metaphor. We have been like birds taken in the "snare," or net, of a fowler. But now we are escaped—not, however, of our own strength or of our own cleverness. The snare is broken for us by God's providence, and so we are escaped.
