<Psalm 124

[1] What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side? Tell me the answer, Israel.

[2] What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us?

[3] Our enemies would have swallowed us alive whenever they became angry at us.

[4] Our enemies’ armies would have been like a flood washing over us, like a river drowning us.

[5] Those proud people would have been like water rising up to our mouth and drowning us.

[6] Praise the Lord! The Lord did not let our enemies catch us and kill us.

[7] We are like a bird that was trapped in a net, and then escaped. The net broke, and we escaped!

[8] Our help came from the Lord. The Lord made heaven and earth!
