Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 124:5 In-Context

3 Toen zouden zij ons levend verslonden hebben, als hun toorn tegen ons ontstak.
4 Toen zouden ons de wateren overlopen hebben; een stroom zou over onze ziel gegaan zijn.
5 Toen zouden de stoute wateren over onze ziel gegaan zijn.
6 De HEERE zij geloofd, Die ons in hun tanden niet heeft overgegeven tot een roof.
7 Onze ziel is ontkomen, als een vogel uit den strik der vogelvangers; de strik is gebroken, en wij zijn ontkomen.
