Psalms
Chapter 124
1
(123)If the Lord Had Not Been On Our Side1Had not the Lord been on our side— let Israel say—
2
had not the Lord been on our side, when people rose up against us,
3
then, they would have swallowed us alive; such was their anger against us.
4
A bit more, and the flood would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;
5
the raging waters would have swept us away.
6
Blessed be the Lord, who did not let us be devoured.
7
Like a bird, our soul escaped from the snare of the fowler; the snare was broken and we were freed.
8
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
