[:en]David declared that God is on their side. He spoke in symbolic language comparing his enemies to ferocious animals who would attack and swallow them alive. Not only will they be eaten up, the flood would have engulfed them , the torment and the ranging water would have swept them away. Then he switched to describe having escaped like a bird out of the fowler”s snare because God had broke nthe trap set by the devil’s scheme.
In life, it may not be men devouring us, but circumstances drowinng us. But if God is for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31 ) He will keep us from being devoured or drowned by Satan if we are following the Lord.[:]
