Psalm 124

Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

1If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

now may Israel say;

2If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

when men rose up against us:

3then they had swallowed us up quick,

when their wrath was kindled against us:

4then the waters had overwhelmed us,

the stream had gone over our soul:

5then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6Blessed be the Lord ,

who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7Our soul is escaped as a bird

out of the snare of the fowlers:

the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8Our help is in the name of the Lord ,

who made heaven and earth.
