Contextual Overview
A song of David for going up to the Temple.
What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side? Tell us about it, Israel. 2 What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us? 3 They would have swallowed us alive when they became angry with us. 4 Their armies would have been like a flood washing over us, like a river drowning us. 5 Those proud people would have been like water rising up to our mouth and drowning us.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. The wicked, who, through their pride, persecute the poor saints: these proud tyrants and persecutors would prevail over them, to their ruin and destruction; who, for their number, force, and strength, and especially for their pride and haughtiness, are like to the strong, boisterous, and swelling waves of the sea, were they not stopped and bounded by him who has said, Thus far shall ye go, and no farther, Job 38:11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul - Over us. The word proud here is applied to the waters as if raging, swelling, rolling, tumultuous; as if they were self-confident, arrogant, haughty. Such raging billows, as they break and dash upon the shore, are a striking embIem of human passions, whether in an individual, or in a gathering of men - as an army, or a mob. Compare Psalms 65:7. This is again an amplification, or an ascent of thought. See the notes at Psalms 124:2. It is, however, nothing more than a poetical embellisment, adding intensity to the expression.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 124:5. Then the proud waters — The proud Haman had nearly brought the flood of desolation over our lives.
