Ps. 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.

They had swallowed us up quick; they had speedily and utterly destroyed us, as Korah, &c. were, Num. 16:0.

Our enemies, compared to proud waters, for their great multitude, and swelling rage, and mighty force.

A metaphor from wild beasts, which tear and devour their prey with their teeth.
