God Persevering with His Pilgrim Saints (5th Song of Ascents)

This fifth Song of Ascents (Ps 124) connects to the lament at the end of the fourth (Ps 123) by remembering God's presence and past deliverances to gain trust in and praise for Him.

Psalm 124 is a Song of Remembering and Thanksgiving for Pilgrim People: God who has been with us to persevere is still with us now and will continue with us. He perseveres with His pilgrim saints in their journey.

The outline is in chiastic form, beginning and ending with the presence and person of God, from which comes the protection of God, building to the great praise of God:
A. Presence and Person of our Lord (Ps 124:1-2a)
B. Protection of our Lord (Ps 124:2b-5)
C. Praise of our Lord (Ps 124:6a)
B. Protection of our Lord (Ps 124:6b-7)
A. Presence and Person of our Lord (Ps 124:8)
