Psalms 124:1-7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

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

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

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

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