Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 124

The Lord Is on Our Side

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side(A)
when people attacked us,(B)
3 then they would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger against us.(C)
4 Then the water would have engulfed us;
the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging water would have swept over us.(D)

6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.(E)
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.(F)
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.(G)

Psalm 124
Modern English Version

Psalm 124

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
    now may Israel say,
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
    when men rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up,
    when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have overwhelmed us,
    the torrent would have passed over our lives;
5 then the surging waters
    would have gone over us.

6 Blessed be the Lord,
    who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
7 We have escaped
    as a bird out of the snare of the hunters;
the snare is broken,
    and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.
