Psalm 124:1 “If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;” Unless it was Yahweh who was with us. The idea is, that someone had been with them, and had delivered them, and that such was the nature of the interposition that it could be ascribed to no one but Yahweh. It bore unmistakable evidence that it was his work. Psalm 124 describes God’s merciful deliverance. Psalm 124 is all about depending on God. The psalm points entirely to God and his help, and there is no stealing the glory for oneself. Note: You will notice this psalm is marked as a Psalm of David. David penned this psalm (we suppose) upon occasion of some great deliverance which God wrought for him and his people from some very threatening danger, which was likely to have involved them all in ruin, whether by foreign invasion, or intestine insurrection, is not certain; whatever it was he seems to have been himself much affected, and very desirous to affect others, with the goodness of God, in making a way for them to escape. To him he is careful to give all the glory, and takes none to himself as conquerors usually do.
Psalm 124:1-8
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Father God, I thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory. For You and only You can take a situation that seems impossible and You see all that goes on so You can take the devious people and turn them around, when they don’t win over Your works. I thank You and praise You that You know all and You make all things right. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
