Psalms 124

1. 1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

3. 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4. 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5. 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

7. 7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8. 8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
