0:06.8	Psalm 124 verses two and three.
0:10.5	If it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,
0:16.0	then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger was kindled against us.
0:27.3	I read this and I just immediately think of so many things that would be said if it had not been the Lord who was on my side.
0:35.0	Like I just think where I would be, I, in a sense, shudder to think of where I would be
0:41.0	if the Lord had not been kind to me, if the Lord had not
