Psalms 124 ⓘ

124:1 A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

124:2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

124:3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

124:4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

124:5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
