Psalms 124
1 If it had not been the
LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say;
2 If it had not been the
LORD who was on our side, when
men rose
up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us
up quick, when their
wrath was
kindled against us:
4 Then the
waters had
overwhelmed us, the
stream had gone
over our
soul: 5 Then the
proud waters had gone
over our
soul. 6 Blessed be the
LORD, who hath not
given us as a
prey to their
teeth. 7 Our
soul is
escaped as a
bird out of the
snare of the
fowlers: the
snare is
broken, and we are
escaped.
8 Our
help is in the
name of the
LORD, who
made heaven and
earth.
