Salmos 124:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 124:3

Then they had swallowed us up quick
Or "alive"; as the earth swallowed up Korah and his company; or as the fish swallowed up Jonah; or rather as ravenous beasts swallow their prey; to which the allusion is. The people of God are comparable to sheep and lambs, and such like innocent creatures: and the wicked to lions, tigers, wolves, bears, and such like beasts of prey that devour living creatures;

when their wrath was kindled against us;
which is cruel and outrageous; there is no standing against it, nor before it; it is like a fierce flame of fire that burns furiously, and there is no stopping it; none but God can restrain it.

Salmos 124:3 In-Context

1 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel:

2 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

3 eles nos teriam tragado vivos, quando a sua ira se acendeu contra nós;

4 as águas nos teriam submergido, e a torrente teria passado sobre nós;

5 sim, as águas impetuosas teriam passado sobre nós.
