• Psalm 124

  • 1 If the Lord had not been on our side— let Israel say—
  • 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 would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
  • 5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
  • 6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
  • 7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
  • 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
