Psalms 124

New International Version NIV

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

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

3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

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

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

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, the Maker of 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.
