Psalms 124 articulates the terrifying 'what if' of a life without God's intervention, imagining the soul swallowed up by floods or crushed by the teeth of enemies. It documents the triumphant moment where 'the snare is broken' and the believer escapes like a bird from a fowler's trap. This chapter establishes that our help is not in our own cleverness, but in the Name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
