Psalm 124

The Message Bible MSG

1 If God hadn't been for us - all together now, Israel, sing out! -

2 If God hadn't been for us when everyone went against us,

3 We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger,

4 Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent;

5 We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water.

6 Oh, blessed be God! He didn't go off and leave us. He didn't abandon us defenseless, helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs.

7 We've flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we're free as a bird in flight.

8 God's strong name is our help, the same God who made 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.
