Psalm 124

124:1

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

124:2

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

124:3

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

124:4

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

124:5

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

124:6

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

124:7

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

124:8

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
