Understand

Psalm 124 is a communal thanksgiving that looks back on a danger that could have destroyed Israel. The poem repeats that Yahweh was “on our side,” imagines the threat as attackers, floodwaters, teeth, and a trap, then ends by naming Yahweh, maker of heaven and earth, as Israel’s help.

Themes Yahweh on Israel’s side · Rescue from overwhelming danger · Communal memory after survival · Escape from a broken snare

A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount : he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.
