Psalms 124

1 Here is what Israel should say. Suppose the LORD had not been on our side.

1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—

2 Suppose the LORD had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us.

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

3 Suppose he had not been on our side when their anger blazed out against us. Then they would have swallowed us alive.

3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

4 They would have been like a flood that drowned us. They would have swept over us like a rushing river.

4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

5 They would have washed us away like a swollen stream.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Give praise to the Lord. He has not let our enemies chew us up.

6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help comes from the Lord. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.

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