Psalm 124:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible

A song to sing as we climb.

David wrote this song.[a]

124 If the Lord was not fighting for us,
    what would have happened?
Israel's people, now answer:
2 ‘If the Lord was not fighting for us when men attacked us,
3     our enemies would have eaten us alive![b]
They would have destroyed us,
    because they were so angry against us.

Footnotes

  1. 124:0 David may have written this psalm when he was fighting the Philistines. David thought that the Philistines would win, but they did not. God gave David and his people help. The psalm says that if God had not helped his people, the enemy would have destroyed them.
  2. 124:3 ‘Eaten us alive’ is like a picture that means ‘destroyed us’.
