Psalm 124

Living Bible

124 If the Lord had not been on our side (let all Israel admit it), if the Lord had not been on our side, ^2-3 we would have been swallowed alive by our enemies, destroyed by their anger. ^4-5 We would have drowned beneath the flood of these men’s fury and pride.

⁶ Blessed be Jehovah who has not let them devour us. ⁷ We have escaped with our lives as a bird from a hunter’s snare. The snare is broken and we are free!

⁸ Our help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
