Psalm 124
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Was on Our Side
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
124 “(A)Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
(B)Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their (D)anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the (E)waters would have flowed over us,
The stream would have [a]swept over our soul;
5 Then the (F)raging waters would have [b]swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be (G)prey for their teeth.
7 Our soul has (H)escaped (I)as a bird out of the (J)snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our (K)help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who (L)made heaven and earth.

And call understanding your intimate friend;

Legacy Standard Bible
7 But (A)to each one of us (B)grace was given (C)according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore [a]it says,
9 (Now this expression, “He (F)ascended,” what [b]does it mean except that He also [c]descended into (G)the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended (H)far above all the heavens, so that He might (I)fill all things.) 11 And He Himself (J)gave (K)some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as (L)evangelists, and some as pastors and (M)teachers, 12 (N)for the equipping of the [d]saints for the work of service, to the building up of (O)the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to (P)the unity of the faith, and of the [e](Q)full knowledge of the Son of God, to a (R)mature man, to the measure of the stature [f]which belongs to the (S)fullness of Christ, 14 so that we are (T)no longer to be children, (U)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by (V)craftiness [g]in (W)deceitful scheming, 15 but [h]speaking the truth (X)in love, [i]we are to (Y)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the (Z)head, that is Christ, 16 from whom (AA)the whole body, being joined and held together [j]by what every joint supplies, according to the properly (AB)measured working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself (AC)in love.
