<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 up 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 proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

[7] Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

[8] Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
