Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 124
1A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say — 2If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us, 3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul; 5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth! 7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped. 8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
