<Psalms 124

[1] If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say—

[2] if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,

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

[4] then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

[5] then over us would have gone the raging waters.

[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 fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

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