References for Psa 124:5 —  1   2 

Psalm Ps. 124. This is a thanksgiving hymn for the community, for a time when God’s people have been under threat but have been delivered. The deliverance allows them to continue journeying to Jerusalem (see note on 122:6–9; and note on Psalm 120 on the Songs of Ascents).

Ps. 124:1–5 The first section describes a situation in which people (apparently Gentiles) rose up against us (that is, against Israel).

Ps. 124:6–7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers. That is, unexpectedly.

Ps. 124:8 The psalm closes with its basic point, that our help is in the name of the Lord (that is, his personal presence; see Deut. 12:11).
