Psalm 124

A Song of degrees of David.

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
now may Israel say;
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
when men rose up against us:
then they had swallowed us up quick,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:
then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Blessed be the Lord,
who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
