Psalm 124 (New International Version)

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

 ² if the LORD had not been on our side
       when men attacked us,

 ³ when their anger flared against us,
       they would have swallowed us alive;

 ⁴ the flood would have engulfed us,
       the torrent would have swept over us,

 ⁵ the raging waters
       would have swept us away.

 ⁶ Praise be to the LORD,
       who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

 ⁷ We have escaped like a bird
       out of the fowler's snare;
       the snare has been broken,
       and we have escaped.

 ⁸ Our help is in the name of the LORD,
       the Maker of heaven and earth.
