For you bless the righteous, O Lord;

Just thought I’d share this Psalm with you all today…
Psalm 124
1 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,”

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against [...]

Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams shall [...]
