Psalms 124 — GNB

124Verse 1“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,^{Verse 2}If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,^{Verse 3}Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;^{Verse 4}Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;^{Verse 5}The proud waters had gone over our soul.^{Verse 6}Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!^{Verse 7}We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.^{Verse 8}Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
