Psalm 124 - ....the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

This Psalm concludes with a simple confirmation of what we learn about God and creation from all the other parts of the Bible. 


Psa 124:1  A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Psa 124:2  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Psa 124:3  Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Psa 124:4  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

Psa 124:5  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Psa 124:6  Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Psa 124:7  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Psa 124:8  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.


In my reading Job has just acknowledged as much....


Job 42:1  Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

Job 42:2  I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

Job 42:3  Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Job 42:4  Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Job 42:5  I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Job 42:6  Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
