Psalms 124

JUB

NIV

1 If the LORD had not been for us, now may Israel say,
1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 If the LORD had not been for us, 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 up 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 flood 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 <em>be</em> the LORD, who did not give us <em>as</em> 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 has broken, and we are 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 <em>is</em> in the name of the LORD, who made the heaven and the earth.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
