Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side," Let Israel now 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 would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;

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

5 Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have 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, Who made heaven and earth.

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