Psalms 124

Psalm 124 praises **YHWH** for delivering His people from enemies who would have swallowed them alive, overwhelmed them with raging waters, and trapped them like birds in a snare (פַּח, *pach*), emphasizing that without **YHWH**'s help, destruction was certain, but the snare is broken and they have escaped[1][2][4]. It concludes with trust in **YHWH**, Maker of heaven and earth, as their ultimate help and deliverer[2][5].
