Psalm 124:5 (WEB)

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Fathers and councils · 2

Augustine of Hippo

Gregory of Nyssa

  • “But if a man leaves this torrent, and these “proud waters,” he will escape from being “a prey to the teeth” of this life, as the Psalm goes on to say, and, as “a bird from the snare,” on virtue’s wings.” — editor's note: Ps. cxxiv. 5, 6, 7: τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον (LXX.), i.e. unsupportable.
