Psalm 124

¹“If it had not been the Lord Let Israel now say—

²“If it had not been the Lord When men rose up against us,

³Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

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

⁵Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul.”

⁶Blessed be the Lord Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁸Our help is in the name of the Lord Who made heaven and earth.
