Psalms 124

WYC

NIV

1 The song of degrees of David. Israel say now, No but for the Lord was in us; (The song of degrees for David. Let Israel say now, If the Lord was not with us/If the Lord had not been for us,)
1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 no but for the Lord was in us. When men rose up against us; (yea, if the Lord was not with us/if the Lord had not been for us; then when men rose up against us,)
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 in hap they had swallowed us quick. When the strong vengeance of them was wroth against us; (they would have swallowed us up alive. Yea, when their fury raged against us;)
3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4 in hap water had swallowed us up. Our soul passed through a strand; (the water would have swallowed us up. When the stream had gone up over our heads;)
4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5 in hap our soul had passed through a water unsufferable. (when the insufferable waters had gone up over our heads.)
5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Blessed be the Lord; that gave not us into taking, [(or) the catching,] of the teeth of them. (Blessed be the Lord; who did not allow us to be caught by their teeth.)
6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 Our soul, as a sparrow, is delivered; from the snare of hunters. The snare is all-broken; and we be delivered. (We have escaped, like a sparrow, from the hunter's snare. The snare is all-broken; and we be set free.)
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; that made heaven and earth (who made heaven and earth).
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
