Praying Through: Psalm 124
The Psalm
Psalm 124 (CSB)
A song of ascents. Of David.1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.
4 Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging water would have swept over us.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net; the net is torn, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
The Prayer
My Savior
If I did not have you
- I would have perished
- in everlasting hell.
Yet you loved me
- so much
- you gave me your Son
- so I lift my eyes
- and see him
- and believe
- and now
- I live in your
- everlasting glory.
Be exalted, O God!
