Psalm 124
New King James Version
Psalm 124
New King James Version
The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
124 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our (A)side,”
(B)Let Israel now 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 (C)swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have [a]gone over our soul;
5 Then the swollen waters
Would have [b]gone over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 (D)Our soul has escaped (E)as a bird from the snare of the [c]fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 (F)Our help is in the name of the Lord,
(G)Who made heaven and earth.

Psaumes 124

124 Cantique des degrés. De David. Sans l'Éternel qui nous protégea, Qu'Israël le dise!
2 Sans l'Éternel qui nous protégea, Quand les hommes s'élevèrent contre nous,
3 Ils nous auraient engloutis tout vivants, Quand leur colère s'enflamma contre nous;
4 Alors les eaux nous auraient submergés, Les torrents auraient passé sur notre âme;
5 Alors auraient passé sur notre âme Les flots impétueux.
6 Béni soit l'Éternel, Qui ne nous a pas livrés en proie à leurs dents!
7 Notre âme s'est échappée comme l'oiseau du filet des oiseleurs; Le filet s'est rompu, et nous nous sommes échappés.
8 Notre secours est dans le nom de l'Éternel, Qui a fait les cieux et la terre.

Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say(A)—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
