Psalms 124

A Song of Degrees of David. ARGUMKNT. If the title had not told us that this is a Psalm of David’s,. I should have thought it had been composed by the author of the former; to acknowledge the wonderful power and goodness of God in delivering them from Sennacherib’s army; which came in like a flood, (Isa. lix. 19.) and had overflown all the country as far as Jerusalem, (viii. 7, 8.) which might well make them be called proud waters, (as the Psalmist here speaks, ver. 5.) because they fancied nothing could stand before them. Such it seems were, either the Philistines, upon whom, when they spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim, the Lord broke forth as a breach of waters, (2 Sam. v. 19.)
