PSALM 124 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm was composed by David in the name, and for the use of all the church and people of Israel, as a thanksgiving for their deliverance from some eminent danger or dangers from proud and potent enemies. Many such they had in David's time; but which of them is here intended is hard to determine, and not worth the inquiry. The church setteth forth God's mercy for a miraculous deliverance, out of the apparent danger of powerful enemies, Psalms 124:1-5, and blesseth him for it Psalms 124:6-8. No text from Poole on this verse.
