Help in the Lord

This passage of Scripture has oft been turned to in a rather hectic time of the year. I hope it encourages and edifies you as much as it has me! Praise God that we have been delivered from the torrent of temptation and circumstances, but thanks be to Him that He has broken the snare and showed us the way of escape: Jesus Christ!

Psalm 124: Our Help is in the Name of the Lord

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side --

let Israel now say --

if it had not been the LORD who was on our side

when people rose up against us,

then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their anger was kindled against us;

then the flood would have swept us away,

the torrent would have gone over us;

then over us would have gone

the raging waters.

Blessed be the LORD,

who has not given us

as prey to their teeth!

We have escaped like a bird

from the snare of the fowlers;

the snare is broken,

and we have escaped!

Our help is in the name of the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.
