Psalm 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.

King James Version KJV

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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