Psalms 124

1 What if the Lord had not been on our side? (Let Israel repeat this.)

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

2 What if the Lord had not been on our side when we were attacked?

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

3 When they were angry with us, they would have swallowed us alive.

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

4 They would have been like a flood drowning us; they would have poured over us like a river.

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

5 They would have swept us away like a mighty stream.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Praise the Lord, who did not let them chew us up.

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

7 We escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap. The trap broke, and we 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 comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. A song for going up to worship.

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