Psalm 124

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. 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 men 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 as 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.

Good News Translation GNT

1 What if the Lord had not been on our side? Answer, O Israel!

2 "If the Lord had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us,

3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their furious anger against us;

4 then the flood would have carried us away, the water would have covered us,

5 the raging torrent would have drowned us."

6 Let us thank the Lord, who has not let our enemies destroy us.

7 We have escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap; the trap is broken, and we are free!

8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
