124:1 |
A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
124:2 |
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
124:3 |
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
124:4 |
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
124:5 |
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
124:6 |
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
124:7 |
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
124:8 |
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
