<Psalm 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 men rose up against us,

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

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

[5] Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul.”

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

[7] Our soul has escaped as 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.
