A Song of Ascents. Of David. 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 people rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; then over us would have gone the raging waters.

Lord, what a precious Psalm as Your Church faces attacks on every side. But You stand before us, beside us, behind us, over us and under us; You are our breastplate of hope and salvation; You are our strong and mighty arm if we will but heed Your word to fear and love You with all our hearts, souls, minds and strengths.
