Psalms 124

1 If the LORD hadn't been for us— let Israel now repeat!—

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

2 if the LORD hadn't been for us, when those people attacked us

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

3 then they would have swallowed us up whole with their rage burning against us!

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

4 Then the waters would have drowned us; the torrent would have come over our necks;

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

5 then the raging waters would have come over our necks!

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Bless the LORD because he didn't hand us over like food for our enemies' teeth!

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

7 We escaped like a bird from the hunters' trap; the trap was broken so we 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 is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.

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