Salmos 124:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 124:5

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
] The wicked, who, through their pride, persecute the poor saints: these proud tyrants and persecutors would prevail over them, to their ruin and destruction; who, for their number, force, and strength, and especially for their pride and haughtiness, are like to the strong, boisterous, and swelling waves of the sea, were they not stopped and bounded by him who has said, Thus far shall ye go, and no farther, ( Job 38:11 ) .

Salmos 124:5 In-Context

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.

6 Bendito seja o Senhor, que não nos entregou, como presa, aos dentes deles.

7 Escapamos, como um pássaro, do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapamos.
