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!
