Psalm 124
World English Bible

A Song of Ascents. By David.

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

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)
