Psalms - Chapter 124

Chapter 123 | Psalms | Contents

1 | 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 they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 | Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 | Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
