Psalms 124

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "If the LORD had not been on our side..." (Israel should repeat this.)

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

3 then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger exploded against us.

4 Then the floodwaters would have swept us away. An [overflowing] stream would have washed us away.

5 Then raging water would have washed us away."

6 Thank the LORD, who did not let them sink their teeth into us.

7 We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter's trap. The trap was broken, and we escaped.

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

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

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

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

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