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 o SENHOR não estivesse do nosso lado;que Israel o repita:

2 Se o SENHOR não estivesse do nosso ladoquando os inimigos nos atacaram,

3 eles já nos teriam engolido vivos,quando se enfureceram contra nós;

4 as águas nos teriam arrastadoe as torrentes nos teriam afogado;

5 sim, as águas violentas nos teriam afogado!
