Psalm 124:7-8 says, ‘Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.’ If you’re reading from the NKJV, both verses use two rather archaic words – ‘snare’ and ‘fowler’. But if you’ve a modern translation, you’ll discover the word for ‘snare’ is sometimes translated as net or trap. The fowler is a bird-catcher or a bird hunter. The good news is – both these verses promise that God has undertaken to rescue us from the trap of the bird-catcher.
