Psalm 124

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<A song of degrees of David.>> "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 would they have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;

4 then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul."

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of 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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "If the LORD had not been on our side..." (Israel should repeat this.)

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

3 then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger exploded against us.

4 Then the floodwaters would have swept us away. An [overflowing] stream would have washed us away.

5 Then raging water would have washed us away."

6 Thank the LORD, who did not let them sink their teeth into us.

7 We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter's trap. The trap was broken, and we escaped.

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