<Psalms 124

[1] If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

[2] if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

[3] when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

[4] then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

[5] then the raging waters would have swept us away.

[6] Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

[7] We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

[8] Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
