Psalm 124

1 If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

3 verily 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 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

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

5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for 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 been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

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

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