Psalms 124

Common English Bible CEB

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 We escaped like a bird from the hunters' trap; the trap was broken so we escaped!

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

New Revised Standard NRS

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side —let Israel now say—

2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when our enemies attacked us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.

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

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
