The song “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side”, and “Blessed be the LORD”
"여호와께서 우리 편에 계시지 아니하셨더면" 하는 노래와 찬송
Psalm 124:1–8: the text says, “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say, if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us, then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul. Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.” The speakers (“we”) go on, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.” The Korean Revised Version opens 124:1 with 이스라엘은 이제 말하기를, the words WEB gives as “let Israel now say” after the first clause of the verse, and closes the words Israel is to say at the end of 124:5 (할 것이로다). WEB opens 124:1 with the title “A Song of Ascents. By David.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 124:1.
