Psalms 124

1 (123-1) <A gradual canticle.> If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

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

2 (123-2) If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

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

3 (123-3) Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

4 (123-4) Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

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

5 (123-5) Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 (123-6) Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

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

7 (123-7) Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

8 (123-8) 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.
