Psalms 124

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

Let Israel now 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 alive,

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.
