Psalms 124

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 A song of ascents. By David: If ADONAI hadn't been for us -let Isra'el repeat it -

2 If ADONAI hadn't been for us when people rose to attack us,

3 then, when their anger blazed against us, they would have swallowed us alive!

4 Then the water would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us.

5 Yes, the raging water would have swept right over us.

6 Blessed be ADONAI, who did not leave us to be a prey for their teeth!

7 We escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap; the trap is broken, and we have escaped.

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

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <A Song of the going up. Of David.> 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 men came up against us;

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

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