Psalms 124 — MSB

124A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—²if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,³when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,⁴then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,⁵then the raging waters would have swept us away.⁶Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.⁷We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.⁸Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
