Psalm 124

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.

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.
