Ps. 124: Ascent for Protection

Psalm 124:8 "Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth."

Israel was a tiny nation. Though they had deep roots, they were outnumbered and couldn't have defended their land with a military force comparable to the other warring nations around their land. They knew, they had to acknowledge God as their deliverer. He was their only hope, and plus he promised he would be that deliverer. He had given them their land.

They knew they would have been destroyed. And the 124th Psalm acknowledges God as that deliverer.
