Psalms 124

1 What if the Lord had not been on our side? Answer, O Israel!

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

2 "If 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 then they would have swallowed us alive in their furious anger against us;

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

4 then the flood would have carried us away, the water would have covered us,

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

5 the raging torrent would have drowned us."

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Let us thank the Lord, who has not let our enemies destroy us.

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 is broken, and we are 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 comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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