Psalms 124
1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel say so!
2 If the LORD had not been on our side when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger blazed against us.
4 Then the waters would have swept over us; a torrent would have passed over our soul.
5 Then the raging waters would have passed over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
7 We escaped like a bird from the hunters’ snare; the snare broke, and we escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
