Psalms 124

1

A Song of [1]Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say,

2

"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,

3

Then they would have [quickly] swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4

Then the waters would have engulfed us, The torrent would have swept over our soul;

5

Then the [2]raging waters would have swept over our soul."

6

Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to be torn by their teeth.

7

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The trap is broken and we have escaped.

8

Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
