Psalm 124

English Standard Version ESV

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 people rose up against 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.

New Living Translation NLT

1 What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:

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

3 They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.

4 The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.

5 Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.

6 Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!

7 We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!

8 Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
