Psalms 124 — WEB

A Song of Ascents. By David.

124If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,let Israel now say,²if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,when men rose up against us,³then they would have swallowed us up 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 proud waters would have gone over our soul.
⁶Blessed be the LORD,who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.⁷Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.The snare is broken, and we have escaped.⁸Our help is in the LORD’s name,who made heaven and earth.
