| Chapter 124 |
1 | A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
|
2 | If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
|
3 | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
|
4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
|
5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
|
6 | Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
|
7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
|
8 | Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
