124Psalms

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

The Lord is on Our Side. Psalm 124(v123)
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 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 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.
