Psalms 124

1 <<A song of degrees of David.>> "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 would they have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 then would the waters 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 proud waters would have 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 has escaped as a bird out of 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.
