124:4 Then the {c} waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
(c) He uses proper similitudes to express the great danger that the Church was in, and out of which God miraculously delivered them.
124:1-5 God suffers the enemies of his people sometimes to prevail very far against them, that his power may be seen the more in their deliverance. Happy the people whose God is Jehovah, a God all-sufficient. Besides applying this to any particular deliverance wrought in our days and the ancient times, we should have in our thoughts the great work of redemption by Jesus Christ, by which believers were rescued from Satan.
