If it had not been the Lord
who was on our side….

Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
and the stream had gone over our soul.

Blessed be the Lord….

Our soul is escaped
as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we are escaped.

Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 124

Just imagine if He hadn’t been!

Well, never mind.

Rather, remember that He did.

And He is.

And will.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

…Our eyes wait upon the Lord our God,
until that he have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord,
have mercy upon us….

Our soul is exceedingly filled
with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

Just three disconnected (I think) notes:

  1. Only with God’s mercy can I continue on.
  2. I know the feeling of that last verse.
  3. Me thinks at times I don’t know how to pray.
