<Psalms 124

[1] “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say,

[2] “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,

[3] Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;

[4] Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;

[5] Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

[6] Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.

[7] Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.

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