Psalms 124

Psalm 124

¹¶ If the Lord had not been for us, now may Israel say,

²If the Lord had not been for us, when men rose up against us,

³then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

⁴then the waters would have overwhelmed us; the flood would have gone over our soul;

⁵then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

⁶¶ Blessed be the Lord , who did not give us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has broken, and we are escaped.

⁸Our help is in the name of the Lord , who made the heaven and the earth.
